[gst-devel] How to include audio file in compiled code?

[Ole.Kirkeby at nokia.com]

This is probably not so much related to GStreamer but more about how to link resources into projects. I have a .wav file used as an alertsound in a Qt project, and I want to include it with the executable so that I don't have to distribute it separately. There is a mechanism for doing this in the Qt Resource System, with an alias tag in the file attribute, but it doesn't work, presumably because GStreamer bypasses the Qt framework when it sees filesrc in gst_parse_launch. More specifically, the code

pipeline = gst_parse_launch("filesrc location=alertsound1.wav ! wavparse ! autoaudiosink", &error);

always causes the file alertsound1.wav to be read from the working directory regardless of which alias I have set up for it.  I also tried fdsrc instead of filesrc but I couldn't make that work either.
