Public bug reported:
gstreamer pipelines using either gconfaudiosink or gconfvideosink to get
the default system audio or video sinks no longer work in Oneiric.
Steps to reproduce:
1- Install gstreamer-tools
2- Run this test pipeline
gst-launch audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink
On Natty, this produces a test tone.
on Oneiric, it fails:
WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element "gconfaudiosink"
There are two solutions to this problem, but both require installing
additional packages:
1- Install gstreamer0.10-gconf
2- Change the pipeline to use gsettingsaudiosink and gsettingsvideosink (where
appropriate). This seems to be "the new way" to do things, through gsettings.
Unfortunately, the libgstgsettingselements.so library which provides these is
NOT in the default-installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-good, but in
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, which needs to also be installed explicitly.
gst-launch audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample !
gsettingsaudiosink
It seems to me like gstreamer pipelines with default-specified sinks should
work out-of-the-box.
This tested under Oneiric with updates as of 2011-08-12.
