Is there a way to not drop the buffers from inactive streams? Perhaps somehow block the queue?

Even when the input-selector has the active pad set to one stream, both of the buffer probes are triggered. Regardless of the duration rolled, current-level-buffers is always 0 for both q1 and q2. It seems to suggest that both queues are consumed even when the active pad is set to only one stream. Does anyone know why this might be the case? Thanks </blockquote> If I understand correctly, even with those properties, the input-selector will consume buffers from all its inputs, but drop everything except buffers from the active pad. `cache-buffers` only applies to (quoting the docs) "buffers still considered valid (after current running time, see sync-mode)". Even in that case, they will have been consumed from the queue, and when their time has passed, they'll still be dropped. Michiel </blockquote> </div> </body> </html>
