[gst-devel] Re: v4lsrc input channels

Hi, i'm new to gstreamer.
I wish to use interfaces (mixer, tuner, ecc.) to change devices properties.  I can't access them. Could you tell me which is the wrong step?

-----
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  gst_init (&argc, &argv);
  const char * elementName = "alsamixer";
  GstElement *source = gst_element_factory_make (elementName, "test");
  if (source) {
    GstMixer *mixer = GST_MIXER (source); /* it returns NULL and prints assertion msg*/
    g_print("GstMixer instance: 0x%08X\n",source);
	
    GstMixerClass *klassMixer = GST_MIXER_GET_CLASS(source); /* should be mixer but mixer is NULL*/
    g_print("GstMixerClass: 0x%08X\n", klassMixer);

    if (klassMixer != NULL)	{
      const GList *channels = klassMixer->list_tracks(mixer);
      g_print("Channels 0x%08X\n",channels);
    }
    gst_object_unref (GST_OBJECT (source));
  }

Thanks in advance

 Using the GstTuner interface (gst/tuner/tuner.h).
