pulseaudio and adder stream latency

[lsmithso at hare.demon.co.uk]

Hi: I'm using gstreamer 0.10.  liveadder made no difference at all. I
 tried all kinds of combinations of the clock-source, do-timestamp and
 latency properties , but it made no difference.  I don't really
 understand the clocking stuff, so this wasn't very scientific.


I also tried mixing both streams on to themselves. It wasn't perfectly
in sync, butt it wasn't bad, and it certainly didn't drift by
seconds.

I tried swapping devices around, but I got the following error.

ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstAudioConvert:audioconvert0: not negotiated
Additional debug info:
gstbasetransform.c(2525): gst_base_transform_handle_buffer (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstAudioConvert:audioconvert0:
not negotiated


Is there a clue there. Recording works if the  1st element device is
the output monitor, and the second is the mic. The above error happens
when the 1st element is the mic and the 2nd the  output monitor.
