[gst-devel] Flushing problems

[Iain *]

Once again I have problems :)

A pipeline thus has a src[1] and a custom joiner element[2] in it. The
src is derived from GstBaseSrc, and it all works fine if the joiner is
not placed in the pipeline.

When the pipeline goes to PLAYING, it plays fine
And when it goes back to READY, it stops...so far all good.

When the pipeline goes back to PLAYING, nothing happens.

By adding a few debugging statements here and there, it seems that
when the pipeline goes to READY, the GstBaseSrc emits an EOS event
(due to the code in gst_base_src_loop.c), but the joiner element never
receives it.

Then when the pipeline goes back to PLAYING, the joiner receives a
new-segment event, immediatly followed by an EOS.

Looking at the log, it seems this is the relevant piece for the disappearing EOS

(line 342121)

As I've said in the source, I just copied all the flushing event stuff
from the adder element, and I don't actually understand most of what
its trying to do. All suggestions greatfully received :)
