Original commit message from CVS:
Added initial version of audioconvert, a generic converter of integer audio/raw formats.
It currently supports conversion of
- channels (mono/stereo only, until someone tells me how to mix other channels)
- endianness (little/bi endian)
- signedness
- width (8, 1, 24 and 32 bits)
- depth (1 - width bits)
missing:
- enough testing (I intend to write a testsuite for this, but that's pending)
- samplerate conversion
- other goodies like format conversion etc
Expect bugs when using it.
problems this should solve:
- encoding wav files on big endian machines
- goom working with mono audio files in gst-player
- Iain's soundcard (that one is a problem in itself)
- complaints about missing conversion
- too many age old, nearly unmaintained plugins (stereo2mono etc.)
Have fun.

make Company happy : Changed visualisation pipeline structure.. audio sink is directly connected to tee so no queue between volume and audio sink...
Original commit message from CVS:
fix timestamp syncing
timestamps are only guessed so add a (big) threshold before starting to drop/insert
fix some clocking madness
Original commit message from CVS:
ALSA rewrite, part 5:
- sync to timestamps (which breaks a _lot_, because most plugins send out wrong timestamps)
- clocking support (A/V sync is superb as long as you don't sync and don't get wrong timestamps)
- 1/2 of format conversion
- assorted bugfixes
I'd like to get people to check the timestamps the plugins send out.
mpegdemux seems to be pretty broken, mad works (I just patched it...), avidemux works at least sometimes.
Haven't checked more so far.
Original commit message from CVS:
Port some changes from 0.6.0/0.6.1 back to HEAD (.pc files moved to pkg-config/, .m4 file moved from plugins to core)
Original commit message from CVS:
Incorporating visualisation in libgstplay
adding have_vis_xid signal and a new type of GstPlay object (VIDEO_VISUALISATION)
Original commit message from CVS:
Added gst_gconf function to render visualisation plugin from GConf key "default/visualisation"
Enjoyed that commit to document those functions and remove commented functions
Original commit message from CVS:
rewrote the caps nego / state change stuff once again, new features:
- bugfixes
- get_caps function to report better caps when device is opened
- better _link function
Original commit message from CVS:
fixing bugs:
- reset original caps on failed caps nego
- do only initialize format/rate/caps if known
- added line for fast debugging output (need this for iain now ;)
Original commit message from CVS:
ALSA cleanup step 3:
- make caps nego work, when caps are already set
- rewriting lots of caps nego while doing so
- start stream explicitly now (will probably stay that way because of sync)
- random bugfixes
alsasrc is probably broken again.
alsasink should now be stable enough to be used with gst-player or rhythmbox (seeking works)
Original commit message from CVS:
Bugfixing in alsa again:
- Leif's commit reverted an earlier patch
(stupid diff)
- Some comment from Leif made me clean up his code
- Moved wait() directly in front of mmap
- Assorted fixes
- fixed newbie bug: DON'T EVER USE STATIC VARIABLES WHEN YOU'RE NOT ABSOLUTELY SURE WHAT YOU'RE DOING, Leif *slap* ;)
I hope I didn't break the src now...
Original commit message from CVS:
started tests for alsa. Doesn't work yet due to scheduler bugs, but I commit it anyway so everyone has it in Norway ;)
Original commit message from CVS:
gst_play_get_sink_element has been improved :
- Recursively searches in bins
- Able to find sink_element of a specified GstPlaySinkType (audio,video,any)
This now allow us to send very complex bins to GstPlay for audio/video sink without breaking length querying, eos signaling, etc..
