Bug Description

When I'm trying to access the "line in" sound from my soundcard with alsasrc :
gst-launch -v alsasrc ! alsasink
I can only hear the first second of the sound. Same thing using gstreamer-properties.

If I use "gst-launch -v audiotestsrc ! alsasink" no problem, so I assume that the problem come from alsasrc.

This log file was obtained using
gst-launch -v --gst-debug-no-color --gst-debug-level=3 alsasrc ! alsasink &> gst-launch.log

After one second the sound stops without any error message on the console. I've pressed C-c after three seconds.

Could you please try with the above package? Just dpkg -i it after downloading...

but before installing this please switch back to esd and test if the problem is still there and then install it ;)

I've tried all combination of alsasink/esdsink/differents values of latency and with gstreamer0.10-esd_0.10.3.-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

Same result as usual, only sound during one second.

With the sync=false, it works. The sound is OK until I kill the process.
