Thanks for the test suite. It could be pared down even farther:

gst-launch sinesrc ! audioconvert ! audio/x-raw-float ! adder ! \
           audioconvert ! osssink

The problem is the buffer-frames property. Sinesrc produces buffers of
indeterminate size, and adder requires that connected elements advertise
the size of their processing chunks via the 'buffer-frames' caps
property.

So the solution is to put a buffer-frames element in the pipeline after
the audioconvert. BUT, for some reason buffer-frames-convert is broken.
I fixed it in CVS -- don't know how it ever worked before. (Stefan, that
was your bug -- try again to see if your app is fixed.)

Cheers,
