[gst-devel] Wavparse to rip apart compressed audio? Newbie Q.

[Edward Averill]

Ok, I have some RIFF-format files I need to get the fmt info from. The data 
inside is compressed, but I have an element that will handle that...

What I'm wondering is: is there any reason I can't use the data output from 
the wavparse element to feed my decoder?  And is there an example of how to 
get the channels/bit depth/etc. information out of the wavparse element, or 
will I need to write my own wavparse-like library that will give me access 
to that information? I see that I can use the gstriff library to help with 
this, if needed.

Sorry if this is a newbie type question, my last element was standalone and 
I'm trying to Use What's There this time rather than Re-Invent The Wheel.
