[gst-devel] tar[dec,enc]

[Lutz Müller]

Hi!

Using the tarenc element I just uploaded to bugzilla
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303975), you can now rip
whole CDs and write the result to a tar file: 

gst-launch cdiocddasrc mode=continuous ! audioconvert ! vorbisenc !
oggmux ! tarenc ! filesink location=test.tar

I've got two questions that I'd like to ask the GStreamer gurus on this
list:

(1) I need to know the file size that is going to be written to a tar
archive upfront. But the oggmux element doesn't know the file size
upfront. Therefore, I am writing the buffers to a temporary file and
only pass the data along if the whole track has been received. That's no
elegant solution. Can you think of a better one?

(2) How do I find out the file extension to a given GstCaps? I.e. I
would like to map application/ogg to ".ogg".

Regards
