[gst-devel] v4l2src

[David Liontooth]

I just discovered the v4l2src plugin (it recently made it into Debian),
and tested it against some saa713x tv cards:

gst-launch-0.10 oggmux name=mux ! filesink location=/tv7/test0.ogg
v4l2src device=/dev/video2 !
video/x-raw-yuv,width=640,height=480,framerate=\(fraction\)30000/1001 !
ffmpegcolorspace ! theoraenc ! queue ! mux. alsasrc
device=hw:2,0 ! audio/x-raw-int,channels=2,rate=32000,depth=16 !
audioconvert ! vorbisenc ! mux.

These cards have 32000Hz audio output, and gstreamer didn't appear to
detect this, so I had to add it manually. The picture is good, and the
file claims to have sound:

Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders
AUDIO: 32000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 112.0 kbit/10.94% (ratio: 14000->128000)
Selected audio codec: [ffvorbis] afm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg Vorbis decoder)

A:  27.2 V:  27.3 A-V: -0.140 ct: -0.019 818/818 29%  1%  0.7% 0 0

... but in fact I cannot hear anything. Suggestions welcome.

How can I tell gstreamer to stop capturing after n minutes?
