gstreamer10 is unable to output sound using alsa on an ibm thinkpad t43

Do you still have that issue with the new version of the packages uploaded since?

Yes, I upgraded and still get

steve@steve:~$ gst-launch-0.10 audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! alsasink
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
ERROR: from element /pipeline0/alsasink0: Could not get/set settings
from/on resource.
Additional debug info:
gstalsasink.c(548): set_hwparams (): /pipeline0/alsasink0:
Sample format not available for playback: Invalid argument
ERROR: pipeline doesn't want to preroll.
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
FREEING pipeline ...

and no sounds...

Could you run " GST_DEBUG=3 GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1gst-launch-0.10 audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! alsasink &>gst-launch.log" and attach it to that page?

bash: audiotestsrc: command not found

GST_DEBUG=3 GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 gst-launch-0.10 audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! alsasink &>gst-launch.log

there was a space missing before gst-launch-0.10

Thanks, what audio hardware do you have?
Could you also try the following two and attach (see the add attachment link on the left) the two created log files here?
GST_DEBUG=3 GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 gst-launch-0.10 audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! "audio/x-raw-int, rate=48000" ! alsasink &>gst-launch-alsa.log

GST_DEBUG=3 GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 gst-launch-0.10 audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! osssink &>gst-launch-oss.log

This was requested, when ran it plays a solid tone

The output of GST_DEBUG=3 GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 gst-launch-0.10 audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! osssink &>gst-launch-oss.log

was requested, it played a solid tone.

this is from the output of lspci

Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)

the hardware is the standard audio hardware that ships with the ibm t43

Thanks so the problem is that ALSA or the gst alsa sink doesn't detect the capabilities of your hardware correctly as it's only able to play sound sampled at 48000khz... I'll get this reported upstream :)

cool, thanks

The first log you pasted here instead of attaching to make it easier to read :)

This should be fixed with 0.10.7-0ubuntu2 which was uploaded some seconds ago... please reopen otherwise :)
