By default gstreamer will try to synchronize all sinks such that they "play" the same sample at the same time. So you could try something like this (bolded the added queues for clarity): <pre wrap="">$ gst-launch-1.0 souphttpsrc location=<livestream url> ! decodebin ! audioconvert ! tee name=t ! queue ! playsink t. ! queue ! lamemp3enc ! id3v2mux ! filesink location=test.mp3</pre> Hope that helps! <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 9/26/2018 8:15 AM, ben_whiteus wrote: </div> <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:1537974945170-0.post@n4.nabble.com"> <pre wrap="">I was able to play and record Internet stream using gstreamer when I was using Ubuntu 16.04.
