As I understand it, faad 2.5 is ABI incompatible with 2.0, which causes this: > > gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location="song.m4a" ! faad ! alsasink > WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element "faad" > > even though > > > gst-inspect-0.10 | grep faad > faad: faad: AAC audio decoder .. because the faad plugin is present in the gstreamer registry, but can't be loaded due to missing symbols. I haven't looked at this particular mess too closely, but maybe you can rebuild gst-plugins-bad against faad 2.5. _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
