filesrc problem with text files ?

[Glenn Pierce]

Hi

I am trying to get the festival element to work with gstreamer.

The example gst-launch command works ie

echo 'Hello G-Streamer!' | gst-launch fdsrc fd=0 ! festival ! wavparse
! audioconvert ! alsasink

piping a file also works ie

cat scripts/jaws.txt | gst-launch fdsrc fd=0 ! festival ! wavparse !
audioconvert ! alsasink


However, I cant get this to work with filesrc unless the file only
contains less than around 42 characters.
It's utf-8 encoded.

For example this fails

gst-launch -v filesrc location=jaws.txt ! text/plain ! festival !
wavparse ! audioconvert ! alsasink


Am I doing something obviously wrong ?

Thanks
