Churred audio and then mute.

[dE]

Hi!

I'm trying to get input from a USB audio device in gstreamer. I test 
using pidgin and  gstreamer-properties. I can the hear the audio from 
the USB device but only for a while (3 or 4 seconds), and then the sound 
gets choppy and then shuts down.

There's practically no CPU usage in the gstreamer application.

I tried recording from the device using arecord, and it works well.

I'm not using a sound server.

I've both 0.10.36 and 1.0.5-r1 installed.

gstreamer-properties and pidgin uses 0.10.36 --
ldd /usr/bin/pidgin | grep gst
         libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 
(0x0000003fcd400000)
         libgstfarsight-0.10.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libgstfarsight-0.10.so.0 
(0x0000003fbc000000)
         libgstinterfaces-0.10.so.0 => 
/usr/lib64/libgstinterfaces-0.10.so.0 (0x0000003fd3800000)
         libgstbase-0.10.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libgstbase-0.10.so.0 
(0x0000003fc0000000)

ldd /usr/bin/gstreamer-properties | grep gst
         libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 
(0x0000003fcd400000)
         libgstinterfaces-0.10.so.0 => 
/usr/lib64/libgstinterfaces-0.10.so.0 (0x0000003fd3800000)

Thanks for any pointers.
