I recently embarked on an effort to expand my testing to multichannel audio, but have run into a problem.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It seems that rtpL16pay and rtpL24pay cannot payload more than 2 channels of audio. If I feed more than 2 channel audio into these payloaders, they give a warning and then try to send 2 channel audio, which is garbage on the receiving end.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My goal is to be able to stream an arbitrary (but modest) number of uncompressed audio channels over a local area network. How can I do that with gstreamer?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>One possibility I discovered uses the element rtpmux. Since all my audio streams will be at the same rate, I could mux separate 2-channel rtp streams together using rtpmux. This seems like a bit of a kludge… but perhaps that is the only way??? Has anyone tried that?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If there is a better or known way to send multichannel audio over RTP under gstreamer (gst-launch only please) I would be very interested in some tips about it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-Charlie<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
