Pipeline stop/start

[Lee Matthews]

Hi,

I'm transmitting live audio over a network using an ogg container. I have an application to send that uses gstreamer and I receive the stream using gst-launch.

For sending I implement the following pipeline but in code :

gst-launch -v autoaudiosrc ! audio/x-raw-int,channels=1,depth=16,width=16,rate=16000 ! volume volume=0.25 ! audioconvert  ! vorbisenc ! oggmux ! tcpserversink port=7821

I set the transmitting application's pipeline state to GST_STATE_PLAYING, I can then connect to the transmitting application using the following :

gst-launch -v tcpclientsrc port=7821 ! oggdemux ! vorbisdec ! audioconvert ! autoaudiosink

It works ok, I can hear the sound that has been captured on the transmitting application. 

I wish to be able to stop the transmission of the audio stream to the client and then start it again, but I have not yet managed to get this to work.

Currently, I set the transmitter pipeline state to GST_STATE_PAUSED. At which point the receiver stops playing audio. I then try to restart it by setting the transmitter pipeline state to GST_STATE_PLAYING, but the receiver does not restart playing audio. 

I can only start receiving and playing the audio again if I restart gst-launch.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? 

Thanks
Lee
