[gst-devel] Forcing adder to use audio/x-raw-float

[Benjamin Otte]

There is the possibility that your osssink doesn't support float audio.
The osssink reduces the set of supported caps from those seen in
gst-inspect to those supported by the soundcard when the device is opened.
Or in short: If your soundcard or driver doesn't support float output,
osssink will not accept float.
