[Gtkpod-devel] gstreamer0.10 plugin for AAC broken for Ubuntu (faad2)

[Marcelo V. <mva...@ro...>]

Hi All,

Players using gstreamer-0.10 can not play AAC files (MP4, M4P) at least for Ubuntu 6.06.x.

the symptom is like the one reported by "swhit" user at:
    http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=271276&highlight=gstreamer+0.10

I have hacked around building "bad" plugin from source following a possible fix as mentioned in the link bellow:


    http://lists.freshrpms.net/pipermail/freshrpms-list/2005-January/012332.html

However, I did not have any luck with that.

I would ask you to please send me a quick email (reply directly to me to do not bother the entire list) just telling if any app based on gstreamer-0.10 is working for your distro.

Note 1: popular Rhythmbox and Banshee uses gstreamer but it will work fine if built for gstreamer-0.8 (I am interested in ver 0.10)
Note 2: default built for MPlayer and xmms DO NOT use gstreamer; so disregard those apps for testing.

And, of course, If anybody has gstreamer- 0.10 "bad" plugin with faad2 working fine for  Ubuntu 6.06 then please let me know what you have you done. 

Thanks,
MV
