[gst-devel] udpsrc odd behaviour building a pipeline with two streams

[Tiago Katcipis]

I'm doing more tests and my problem seens to be udpsrc + udpsink being used
together on the same pipeline. I need to use then together on the same
pipeline because on the future i want to use a tee element to log the near
stream and the far stream on the same file from the voip chat, and i didn't
wanted to use two pipes and mix outside gstreamer.

This simple example wont work, bot streams got locked:
gst-launch -v fakesrc ! identity ! udpsink host=localhost port=6000 udpsrc
port=5000 ! identity ! fakesink

But if i use only udpsink OR udpsrc, it works:
gst-launch -v fakesrc ! identity ! fakesink  udpsrc port=5000 ! identity !
fakesink
gst-launch -v fakesrc ! identity ! udpsink host=localhost port=6000 fakesrc
! identity ! fakesink

An i doing some big mistake on the way I'm using gstreamer to do this?

any help will be appreciated.

best regards,
Katcipis
