[gst-devel] caps negotiation problem with audioconvert

[Steve Fink]

I ran into this error message with the element I am (slowly, badly)
attempting to write, and I was able to reproduce it with a builtin
pipeline:

% gst-launch-0.10 -v filesrc location=ping.wav ! volume ! audioconvert
! fakesink
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
/pipeline0/fakesink0: last-message = "event   ******* E (type: 102,
GstEventNewsegment, update=(boolean)false, rate=(double)1,
applied_rate=(double)1, format=(GstFormat)GST_FORMAT_BYTES,

ERROR: from element /pipeline0/volume0: not negotiated

I'm assuming the problem is between volume and audioconvert -- they
haven't agreed on a set of caps. But they're both based on
gst_base_transform, which looks like it at least intends to do the
right thing.
