[gst-devel] 'segment->format == format' assertion failing in gstsegment when playing WM content

I have compared log entries like the following to the samples I am feeding
the pipeline:

"dshowaudiodec : chain (size 768)=> pts 0:00:00.128000000 stop
0:00:00.320000000"

This line is produced by the following statement (from gstdshowaudiodec.c):

GST_CAT_DEBUG_OBJECT (dshowaudiodec_debug, adec, "chain (size %d)=> pts %"
      GST_TIME_FORMAT " stop %" GST_TIME_FORMAT,
      GST_BUFFER_SIZE (buffer), GST_TIME_ARGS (GST_BUFFER_TIMESTAMP
(buffer)),
      GST_TIME_ARGS (GST_BUFFER_TIMESTAMP (buffer) +
          GST_BUFFER_DURATION (buffer)));

Those timestamps are matching from what I can tell and therefore look ok to
me.



It is possible that I am not setting all necessary data on the GstBuffer in
the fakesrc. The following fields get set at the moment:

   - GST_BUFFER_DATA
   - GST_BUFFER_SIZE
   - GST_BUFFER_TIMESTAMP
   - GST_BUFFER_DURATION
   - GST_BUFFER_FLAG_DISCONT (if present in source sample)
   - GST_BUFFER_FLAG_PREROLL (if present in source sample)


It is also worth mentioning that my fakesrc has the "is-live" property set
to TRUE.

Thanks,

Andreas
