[maemo-developers] GStreamer PCM sink stuttering/dropouts...

[From: Nils Faerber]

Hi!
I am playing around with some GStreamer hacking and try to output a
simply WAV file. In general this works even on commandline:

gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=./wsh.wav \! wavparse \! dsppcmsink

(run as root via ssh commandline)

But strangely this behaves differently than the shipped media player. If
running the above commandline almost *any* UI action causes dropouts in
playback - you tap on a menu button, playback stops for some ms, menu
pops-up and playback continues. This does not happen with the media player.

I also tried various options of the filesrc and dsppcmsink but with not
better result.

Is there an additional Gst plugin which I can use for some
pre-buffering? Or can I somehow else increase the priotity? Or what does
media player do what I obviously miss here?

Any hint would really be welcome...
Thanks!

Cheers
