Then in each subsequent processing chain, the teed audio is de-interleaved first, and then the chain picks up as before. This results in one deinterleave element per chain/sink.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The rearranged structure does not result in an error, however, it does not play audio either. Only when I replace the second alsasink with fakesink does the pipeline produce audio. Alternately I can remove all of the parts of the pipeline that lead to the second alsasink and that also will produce audio.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Since the whole idea was to be able to add another DAC onto my system (this is the “second” alsasink) and send audio to it as well as the built-in DAC in order to connect a new subwoofer, the original problem still remains as I am not able to get the pipeline to work when it includes the second audio sink.<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
