Bug Description

Trying to play a FLAC encoded file over DAAP gives error dialouge as follows:

"Playback Error
GstFlacDec cannont work in push mode. The operation is not supported with this source element or protocol"

Music library shared from Banshee 0.10.10-0ubuntu2 over DAAP, using 0.10.10-0ubuntu2 to play back.

$ gst-inspect-0.10 | grep flac
typefindfunctions: audio/x-flac: flac
typefindfunctions: application/x-id3v2: mp3, mp2, mp1, mpga, ogg, flac, tta
typefindfunctions: application/x-id3v1: mp3, mp2, mp1, mpga, ogg, flac, tta
flac: flacenc: FLAC encoder
flac: flacdec: FLAC decoder
ffmpeg: ffdec_flac: FFMPEG FLAC lossless audio decoder

possibly related to of 40023: "totem & rhythmbox will not play Ogg Vorbis, Ogg Theora or Ogg FLAC on fresh Dapper install"?

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer0.10/+bug/40023

Although, after doing as suggested by Sebastian Dröge, paying back http://ff123.net/samples/1.flac (FLAC sample file) using "$ gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location="./1.flac" ! decodebin ! {fake, oss, alsa}sink", all three sinks functioned correctly - sound was played back.

(should I be editing my comments, or adding more?)

GstFlacDec lives in gst-plugins-good0.10

I couldn't find any relevant bugs in upstream.

I can confirm this. This is because a) the http source (i.e. gnomevfssrc) doesn't support seeking, i.e. only push mode and b) the flac decoder/demuxer only supports pull mode.

a) should probably be fixed by neonhttpsrc once it is moved from plugins-bad to good

but neonhttpsrc needs a newer neon anyway so a) won't be fixeable for dapper probably...

Oh neon was updated and is new enough for neonhttpsrc... I'll enable it in gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad later... should be in 0.10.1+cvs20060428-0ubuntu2 but I don't know whether it will be chosen for http over gnomevfssrc by default... we'll see :)
please report back after installing that version of plugins-bad

Installed the new version of gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, and playback still does not work. Same error message as before.

(I'm 100% sure I have the ubuntu2 version installed, but if I wasn't, what is the easiest way to tell the version of a currently installed package?)

Sebastian Dröge (slomo) wrote :

Yep the gnomevfssrc has a higher priority currently and is used instead of neonhttpsrc :/
So we have to wait for neonhttpsrc to be moved to plugins-base or plugins-good and have gnomevfssrc disabled for http...

Thanks very much for your help, it's been good to have such prompt help on my first ubuntu bug :)

Not really... and I would expect it only for edgy. for dapper it would be pure luck to get this done

This has been fixed upstream; will 0.10.4 be making it into Dapper?

The patch doesn't look trivial and that's a minor issue we are no likely to backport it

This is fixed with 0.10.4-0ubuntu1 which was uploaded to edgy some hours ago
