[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] problem with gstreamer and dsppcm

[From: Reinhard Enders]

Hi,

When trying to write a simple wav-recorder (with wavenc plugin simply
crosscompiled) the following shell script works fine:

     gst-launch -m -v dsppcmsrc ! \
     audio/x-raw-int,channels=1,rate=8000 ! \
     wavenc ! filesink location="$1"

When I translate that into a C-program, top tells me about an
unreasonable amount of CPU time used up (40% by the program and
40% by Xomap!).

What's even worse, when I pause, stop or even destroy the recording
pipeline, it still eats up nearly all processing time doing absolutely
nothing - until the process is killed.

Any idea what's going on.

- The licens of dsppcmsrc/sink is LGPL, can I find the source anywhere
- instead of raw data, it would be even better to use dspilbc.
   Is there a way to store the captured data to a file, in a way it can
   be played back again (some wrapper)?

Thanks and Regards
