r way

[07:45] <taaz> how much?  what kind of numbers do you have?
[07:46] <chillywilly> I dunno I justs wanna play with it
[07:46] <chillywilly> k?

with all sorts of things
[07:47] <taaz> yeah but filesystems are just a tool
[07:47] <taaz> and sysamdin work is like being a tool repairman...

streamer ;)  you should use your time like that too... ;)

[13:08] thomas (th...@ur...) joined #gstreamer.
[13:08] <thomas> hi
[13:09] <wtay> hello
[13:09] <thomas> can I ask a quick question ?
[13:09] <wtay> sure
[13:09] <thomas> how can I run gstreamer without X ?
[13:09] <wtay> you can't
[13:09] <thomas> uh oh
[13:09] <thomas> ok
[13:09] <thomas> is there a way to "fake" an X ?
[13:09] <wtay> we currently use Gtk+ which depends on X
[13:10] <wtay> meybe there is a dummy X server somewhere...
[13:10] <thomas> what does "depend" mean in this case ?
[13:10] <thomas> having it actually running ?
[13:11] <thomas> and is gstreamer going to keep using gtk+ ?
[13:11] <thomas> because for a lot of applications you don't really need =
X to be active
[13:11] <wtay> X must be running
[13:11] <wtay> we are going to get rid of the X dependency when we move t=
o glib2.0
[13:12] <thomas> ah ok
[13:12] <thomas> but when is that scheduled ?
[13:12] <wtay> zaheer is going to start on it RSN
[13:12] <thomas> but chances are it will take a long time i suppose ?
[13:12] <wtay> he does OpenTeleMedia (on the server) so he can't have X e=
ither...
[13:13] <wtay> I think it should only take about a week to complete the p=
ort
[13:13] <sienap> hej all!
[13:13] <wtay> the problem is that glib2.0 is not yet widely used...
[13:13] <wtay> hey sienap
[13:13] <thomas> ah ok
[13:13] <thomas> hey sienap
[13:13] <thomas> found a dummy x server
[13:14] <thomas> Xvfb
[13:14] <thomas> i'll check it tonight
[13:14] <wtay> ok
[13:14] <thomas> I have to go now, but typing it here means it will go in=
 the logs
[13:14] <thomas> ;)
[13:14] <wtay> yes :)
[13:14] <thomas> (I'm ashamed already of stuff I said in the logs)
[13:14] <thomas> anyway...
[13:14] <wtay> thomas: don't :)
[13:14] <thomas> chances are I'll see you tonight
[13:14] <sienap> thomas i already replied on your message in the mailbox
[13:14] <wtay> ok, cya
[13:14] <sienap> hej wtay!
[13:14] <thomas> I got the plugin working at home now
[13:14] <thomas> the great thing is :
[13:15] <wtay> cool
[13:15] <thomas> when you actually keep listening
[13:15] <sienap> wtay glib2.0 will be released realllly soon..
[13:15] <thomas> you have to keep turning up the volume
[13:15] <sienap> that is great ?
[13:15] <thomas> so in the end you can still hear the song sinking away
[13:15] <thomas> in the noise floor of your sound card
[13:15] <sienap> he
[13:15] <wtay> hehe
[13:15] <thomas> sienap : well not great, but great in an audio nerd kind=
 of way
[13:15] <thomas> anyway
[13:15] <sienap> heehehhee ;)
[13:15] <thomas> it'll do more useful stuff soon
[13:15] <thomas> if I can get that dummy x server working
[13:15] <sienap> he great stuff
[13:15] <wtay> thomas: is that with the envelope too?
[13:15] <thomas> the envelope's not there yet
[13:16] <sienap> thomas when the stuff works please send in :)
[13:16] <wtay> ok
[13:16] <thomas> still not sure on which of both ways i'll use
[13:16] <thomas> anyway
[13:16] <thomas> till tonight
[13:16] <wtay> yup
[13:16] <thomas> bye
[13:16] <wtay> bye
[13:16] <sienap> bye!
[13:16] thomas (th...@ur...) left irc: I'm outta here!

[13:16] <sienap> hej wtay
[13:16] <sienap> about something else
[13:16] <wtay> yes?
[13:16] <sienap> i no time the gstreamer package is getting to big becaus=
e of plugins
[13:16] <wtay> yeah
[13:17] <sienap> i think we need to make seperate packages for the plugin=
s soon
[13:17] <wtay> yes
[13:17] <sienap> like an audio decode package
[13:17] <sienap> video decode
[13:17] <sienap> audio encode
[13:17] <sienap> etc etc
[13:17] <sienap> etc
[13:17] <sienap> :)
[13:17] <wtay> need to decide on a same directory structure first too..
[13:17] <wtay> or hiererchy
[13:17] <wtay> hierarchy even
[13:18] <sienap> he yeah ok..
[13:18] <sienap> just mentioning
[13:18] <wtay> but I agree with you 100%
[13:19] <wtay> just a few more things and I think we can divorce gstplay/=
editor and the plugins fro the core
[13:20] <sienap> he indeed

[15:22] <wtay> yeah, the API (factories) couldn't handle floats...
[15:22] <sienap> hmmmm :)
[15:22] <sienap> so the whole api will be change ?
[15:23] <wtay> the factories are gone
[15:23] <wtay> and lots of code could be removed which is a good thing
[15:23] <sienap> he :)
[15:23] <sienap> any plugins got in lately ?
[15:24] <wtay> nope
[15:24] <sienap> hmmm
[15:24] <sienap> too bad :(

[15:24] <sienap> nice
[15:25] <sienap> so what is up for a new release?

[15:33] <sienap> btw when will QoS be implented ?
[15:34] <wtay> when we have a good event system...
[15:35] <wtay> no idea when we'll make that
[15:35] <wtay> first incsched has to be merged
[15:36] <sienap> incshed is doing what ?
[15:36] <wtay> adding elements dynamically to a runnning pipeline
[15:36] <sienap> he
[15:36] <sienap> ic
[15:36] <sienap> cool :)
[15:37] <sienap> however a good event system ?
[15:37] <sienap> explain..
[15:37] <wtay> It's a mechanism to pass events between plugins, like QoS =
or EOS or seeking etc..
[15:38] <wtay> it's not real data that is flowing but events
[15:38] <sienap> aah ic :)
[15:38] <sienap> i understand
[15:38] <sienap> howlong will it take till that gets implented
[15:39] <wtay> it shouldn't be too hard, I guess two weeks after incsched=
 is working...
[15:39] <sienap> he
[15:39] <sienap> cool :)
[15:39] <sienap> and incshed is how far away ?
[15:39] <wtay> I think Erik has most of it working, when he gets to it, I=
 guess about a week or so

[15:54] <Uraeus> yup on the day of my return to the old country
[15:55] <hadess> tuesday then
[15:55] <Uraeus> yup
[15:55] <Uraeus> hadess: any progress on Gunghoo?
[15:55] <hadess> rotfl
[15:56] <sienap> ureaus mwha i ride horses for 2 years when i still was a=
 primary school.. so i know it is hard :)=20
[15:56] <sienap> however i got bored pretty much with it :)
[15:56] <sienap> happily >:)
[15:57] <hadess> now sienap just gets horses riding him
[15:57] <hadess> muhaha
[15:57] <wtay> hadess: no not even that :-)
[15:57] <Uraeus> sienap: my ambition is only to be able to go riding in t=
he forest during summer with my girlfriend
[15:57] <sienap> =A0hadess mwha >:) there cocks are bigger then yours >:)
[15:58] <sienap> ureaus he that is the fun part :)
[15:58] <sienap> riding in forest and stuff..
[15:58] <Uraeus> sienap: actually I am taking riding lessons with her to =
get her to become my girlfriend :)
[15:58] <wtay> do you want me to turn off logging again? :-)
[15:58] <hadess> Uraeus: ah, yeah, i remember now =3D)
[15:58] <Uraeus> hmm :)
[15:59] <hadess> wtay: she's not called anna so that must be alright :P
[15:59] <Uraeus> heh, I mention Anna in my GUADEC summary :)
[15:59] <hadess> Uraeus: btw, the topic's a reminescent from those days w=
e had to shut off the bot
[16:00] <Uraeus> why?
[16:00] <sienap> ureaus HAHAH :)
[16:00] <sienap> hadess however tell me.. code on itunes clone ?
[16:00] <hadess> we were talkig about what we did on the sunday
[16:01] <hadess> sienap: change of plans, bonobo-ification coming on soon
[16:01] <sienap> oeeeeejeah :)
[16:01] <hadess> i might keep on the work i started though
[16:01] <sienap> he ?
[16:02] <Uraeus> hadess: seen the mail from cactus?
[16:02] <hadess> Uraeus: yep
[16:02] <hadess> he was here yesterday
[16:02] <Uraeus> is bonobo-media of interest to GStreamer?
[16:02] <hadess> ask wtay
[16:02] <Uraeus> wtay?
[16:02] <wtay> Uraeus: yup, got it working with audio
[16:03] <wtay> Uraeus: video is working too, but the widget doesn't show
[16:03] <Uraeus> wtay: cool, is the b-media API clean and nice?
[16:03] <wtay> Uraeus: I think it's a bug in bonobo-media because I can't=
 even get a single button to show
[16:03] <wtay> Uraeus: for a corba component I guess it is...
[16:03] <Uraeus> hehe
[16:04] <Uraeus> wtay: which reminds me the Overflow author should really=
 get a reply to his mail, it has been quite a while since he mailed and w=
hen I talked to Erik during GUADEC he said he hadn't gotten around to rep=
lying
[16:05] <wtay> Uraeus: hmm
[16:05] <wtay> Uraeus: ok I'll look into it...
[16:05] <sienap> wtay he so bonobo media is working in no time from now..
[16:05] <wtay> I'm first going to get the new API changes working...
[16:05] <wtay> sienap: yup, just need a chat with cactus and it should be=
 ok
[16:06] <sienap> he that is really great
[16:06] <Uraeus> cool, I put that in my new GNOME weekly summaries (Havoc=
 Pennington mailed me and asked me to take over)
[16:06] <sienap> what was the bonobo-media url again ?
[16:06] <wtay> sec..
[16:06] <sienap> ureaus YEAH GREAT!!!!!!!!
[16:06] <hadess> Uraeus: neat =3D)
[16:06] <sienap> ureaus i missed that !
[16:06] <wtay> http://cactus.rulez.org/projects/bonobo-media/
[16:07] <wtay> Uraeus: very cool
[16:08] <Uraeus> have to go, be back later

[16:52] <hadess> that was quick...
[16:53] <wtay> she's playing with Xchat :)
[16:53] <hadess> wtay: if/when you have a mad plugin, can you tell me ?
[16:53] <hadess> hehe
[16:53] <wtay> sure
[16:53] <wtay> the API is not as easy as it seems...
[16:53] <wtay> no docs
[16:53] <hadess> i'm implementing the library in Gunghoo
[16:53] <wtay> oh
[16:54] <wtay> then you'll be able to tell me how to do the mad plugin :)
[16:55] <hadess> well, right now i'm chasing some weird thread bug :/
[16:56] <hadess> can i paste it to you ?
[16:56] <hadess> #0  0xf24e59c in sigset () from /lib/libc.so.6

[16:57] <wtay> wow
[16:57] <hadess> sb-source-backend.c:37 is a pthread_create
[16:57] <wtay> is there a pthread_init too?
[16:57] <hadess> dang!
[16:58] <hadess> i need that ?
[16:58] <wtay> dunno, just guessing :)
[16:58] <hadess> let's try it
[17:00] <hadess> nope, i can't find anythng like that :/
[17:00] <wtay> hmm
[17:01] <wtay> maybe you need some other initialisation somewhere...
[17:02] <hadess> i have a g_thread_init(NULL); in my main
[17:02] <wtay> that should do...
[17:03] <wtay> maybe it's the thread code that crashes because the mad li=
b is not initialized
[17:03] <hadess> just had to put some gdk_thread_enter/leave around my th=
readed stuff
[17:04] <hadess> damn gdb is useless with threads
[17:06] <hadess> i'm not using libmad yet
[17:12] <wtay> hmm
[17:16] <hadess> damn it, i need to write new code, that's awful
[17:16] <hadess> i wish i could just think of an app and have it done <g>
[17:17] <wtay> yeah, well, come back in 50 years :)
[17:17] <wtay> just imagine all bad programs people would think of...
[17:18] <hadess> that would be quite messy i imagine :P
[17:46] z- (da...@ho...) joined #gstreamer.
[17:46] <wtay> yo
[17:46] <z-> hi
[17:46] <z-> do u know how to disable cothreads ?
[17:47] <wtay> you can't
[17:47] <z-> damn...
[17:47] <z-> not even in principle?
[17:47] <wtay> why?
[17:47] <wtay> nope
[17:47] <z-> they seem to be causing problems with the freebsd pthread li=
brary
[17:47] <z-> coz its userland
[17:47] <wtay> some elements are pull based and you need cothreads for th=
at
[17:48] <wtay> hmm
[17:48] <z-> ah..
[17:48] Action: z- pretends he knows what that means
[17:48] <wtay> what kind of problems?
[17:48] <z-> well, according to the error message, it trys to longjmp bet=
ween thread contexts
[17:48] <z-> which causes a fatal error in the lib
[17:48] <wtay> hmm
[17:49] <wtay> not sure if that is abug in the cothreads or the freebsd p=
thread lib
[17:49] <z-> what are cothreads exactly?
[17:49] <wtay> normally we don't longjmp between thread contexts
[17:49] <z-> just userland threads?
[17:49] <z-> oh..
[17:49] <wtay> yup
[17:50] <wtay> basically, save the stack, jump somewhere else, return to =
the previous stack
[17:50] <z-> well i should try compiling with linuxthreads port
[17:50] <z-> they are kernel-based
[17:50] <wtay> ok
[17:50] <z-> it is rather
[17:50] <z-> ok brb

[18:40] thomas (th...@ur...) joined #gstreamer.
[18:41] <thomas> hi everyone
[18:43] <wtay> hello
[18:43] <thomas> so...
[18:43] Nick change: taazzzz -> taaz
[18:44] <thomas> the x dummy server works
[18:44] <wtay> good
[18:44] <thomas> so I can start gstreamer from text
[18:44] <thomas> but I noticed something else...
[18:44] <wtay> oh
[18:44] <thomas> my mp3's sound worse played through helloworld
[18:44] <thomas> than through mpg123
[18:44] <thomas> I can't tell for sure
[18:44] <thomas> but it sounds like gstreamer is doing a 16 bit overflow =
somewhere
[18:44] <thomas> causing distortion
[18:44] <wtay> hmm
[18:45] <wtay> did you look at the helloworld example, it does stereo2mon=
o and mulaw somewhere...
[18:45] <thomas> did anyone ever complain about that ?
[18:45] <thomas> ah ok...
[18:45] <thomas> right forgot that
[18:45] <thomas> maybe that's it
[18:45] <wtay> yeah :)
[18:45] <thomas> do all the helloworld examples do that ?
[18:45] <thomas> because right now for some reason
[18:45] <wtay> I don't think so
[18:45] <thomas> I can't use gstreamer-launch
[18:45] <thomas> since it complains about an assertion failed in cdparano=
ia
[18:45] <thomas> and it doesn't do that all of the time
[18:46] <thomas> so there's something fishy there
[18:46] <wtay> uh?
[18:46] <thomas> do you want to see the output ?
[18:46] <wtay> yeah
[18:47] <hadess> there tests/mp3 one might work without using any filters=
 i think
[18:47] <thomas> ok...
[18:47] <thomas> I can't get the error back
[18:47] <thomas> it segfaults right on startup
[18:47] <thomas> just after the gstreamer init
[18:48] <thomas> if I give the wrong elements it doesn't even complain an=
ymore
[18:48] <wtay> strange
[18:48] Action: hadess goes to e-table hacking
[18:49] <z-> yay, it finished compiling
[18:49] <thomas> uhm... if I didn't do "make install", then I guess gdb c=
an't find the libraries right ?
[18:49] <wtay> you should use libtool gdb after that
[18:51] <thomas> ok... the backtrace reveals
[18:51] <thomas> that the location i specify does not exist
[18:51] <thomas> but it does
[18:51] <thomas> let's see why it would do that
[18:53] <thomas> ok... that's strange.  the line in the source that's giv=
ing the error reads :=20
[18:53] <thomas>     GtkType type =3D GTK_OBJECT_TYPE (object);
[18:53] <thomas> I don't know enough to see if this means anything
[18:53] <thomas> so I re-did gstreamer-register
[18:53] <thomas> here's what it says at the bottom :
[18:54] <thomas> ** CRITICAL **: file cdparanoia.c: line 593 (plugin_init=
): assertion `plugin !=3D NULL' failed.
[18:54] <thomas> and only for this one...
[18:54] <wtay> oh ok, you have the plugin somewhere else too then
[18:55] <thomas> yes... it was in /usr/local/lib/gst
[18:55] <thomas> but I don't know why
[18:55] z- (da...@ho...) left irc: Read error t=
o z-[host213-122-1-210.btinternet.com]: Connection reset by peer
[18:55] <thomas> anyway
[18:55] <thomas> that solves the gstreamer-register
[18:55] <thomas> but it doesn't solve the gstreamer-launch problem
[18:55] <thomas> this is weird... why wouldn't it find it ?
[18:56] <thomas> how do I use the fakesrc ?
[18:56] <wtay> "gstreamer-launch faksesrc ! faksesink" for example
[18:57] <thomas> ok...
[18:57] <thomas> I think i found it.
[18:57] <thomas> there isn't that much checking in gstreamer yet is there=
 ?
[18:57] <thomas> I feel stupid now
[18:57] <thomas> I used diskrc=3Dfile
[18:57] <thomas> instead of disksrc location=3Dfile
[18:57] <wtay> no, error recovery is pretty lame
[18:58] <thomas> ok... so the standard pipe has the same quality
[18:58] <thomas> phew
[18:59] <thomas> so now it makes sense to keep working on the plugin ;)
[18:59] <thomas> so would it be a good idea to make a passthru filter now=
 ?
[18:59] <thomas> so that it's a good boiler plate for standard stereo eff=
ects
[18:59] <wtay> identity is a passtrhough filter
[18:59] <thomas> for audio ?
[18:59] <wtay> yeah, maybe in the examples
[18:59] <wtay> nope, for all media types
[18:59] <thomas> ah...
[18:59] <thomas> I'd like to make one specifically for audio
[19:00] <thomas> so that I can show in the code where to put
[19:00] <thomas> the sound algorithms
[19:00] <wtay> cool
[19:00] <thomas> one other thing
[19:00] <thomas> wouldn't it be better for the plugins dir
[19:00] <thomas> to actually mention what data it works on ?
[19:00] <thomas> I mean, to put that in the directory tree ?
[19:00] <thomas> colorspace and stereo2mono are both in the filter dir
[19:00] <hadess> whee ! worked first time
[19:01] <wtay> yeah, we don't have a clear hierarchy yet...
[19:01] z- (da...@ho...) joined #gstreamer.
[19:01] <wtay> we are working on it, people cannot agree if the media typ=
e/algorithm/etc.. goes first
[19:02] <wtay> is it audio/sink/arts or sink/audio/arts?
[19:02] <wtay> hadess: ?
[19:03] <z-> how do i set what sink gstmediaplay uses?
[19:03] <wtay> z-: in gstplay.c ...
[19:03] <z-> ok..
[19:03] <wtay> line 137...
[19:03] <z-> thanks
[19:06] <hadess> wtay: library gui is done, nearly, gonna start hacking o=
n the xml loader
[19:06] <wtay> cool
[19:06] Action: thomas is away =02- Automatically set away. -=02 messages=
 will be saved.
[19:06] <wtay> I've converted all plugins to the new padtemplate API...
[19:19] Nick change: wtay -> wtay-away
[19:26] <thomas> what's the new padtemplate API ?
[19:29] Action: hadess hits wtay-away on the head
[19:36] <z-> if i wanted to change all occurrences of -pthread to somethi=
ng else
[19:36] <z-> what would be a good place to do that?
[19:45] <hadess> -lpthread you mean ?
[19:45] <hadess> probably in the configure.in
[19:45] <z-> it uses -pthread flag to gcc iirc
[19:45] <z-> ok
[19:46] <hadess> rats, table is not showing...
[19:49] <taaz> i'm breaking the wiki... whoops
[19:54] <z-> hm
[19:54] Nick change: wtay-away -> wtay
[19:54] <z-> mp3 playback doesnt seem to work :<
[19:54] <z-> yo wtay
[19:55] <wtay> yo
[19:55] <wtay> thomas: it used to be a GstPadFactory (array of pointers) =
you had to fill in, now it's a method you call...
[19:56] <sienap> =A0back
[19:56] <z-> wtay, do you know why mp3s might not be working in latest CV=
S?
[19:56] <z-> they worked last time i tried
[19:56] <wtay> hmm
[19:57] <wtay> don't they?
[19:57] <z-> nope
[19:57] <z-> mp3s are the only thing i've tried..
[19:57] <wtay> it works here...
[19:57] <sienap>  backkkkk
[19:57] <wtay> gstmediaplay?
[19:57] <z-> ok
[19:57] <sienap> OOH ;)
[19:57] <z-> yeh, gstmediaplay
[19:57] <sienap> Z!
[19:57] <sienap> WTAY!
[19:57] <wtay> yo zuignap
[19:57] <z-> hi!
[19:58] <thomas> wtay: does that mean that every plugin written now
[19:58] <thomas> should use the new method ?
[19:58] <wtay> thomas: yes
[19:58] <thomas> oh; so I should stop making that passthru plugin now ;) =
;( ?
[19:59] <wtay> thomas: it's a very minor change...
[19:59] <wtay> just some sytactic sugar
[19:59] <wtay> s/sytactic/syntactic
[19:59] <sienap> he
[19:59] <sienap> wtay :)
[20:00] <wtay> thomas: if you send me the plugin I'll ad it to CVS right =
away...
[20:00] <thomas> first get it fixed
[20:01] <thomas> I want to leave the bit depth of the data open
[20:01] <thomas> instead of having to write different functions for each =
possibility
[20:01] <thomas> so that should mean not casting the data
[20:01] <sienap> thomas how is the stuff going
[20:01] <wtay> thomas: much better
[20:01] <sienap> *brb ffkes potje pissen*
[20:01] <thomas> sienap: just making a passthru plugin to learn the ropes
[20:01] <thomas> sienap: then write a small perl script to copy this plug=
in to a new one
[20:02] <thomas> sienap: and change all the names, functions and stuff to=
 the new name
[20:02] <thomas> sienap : so that one can make a simple audio filter quic=
kly
[20:02] <thomas> sienap: (if i get it finished)
[20:02] <wtay> thomas: very cool!
[20:02] <wtay> I was also thinking about a plugin wizard..
[20:03] <thomas> ok...
[20:03] <thomas> so if I don't want to typecast the in_data
[20:03] <thomas> how should I refer to it ?
[20:03] <thomas> now it's gint16* in_data
[20:03] <wtay> its a gchar
[20:03] <thomas> so I can just make it gchar* in_data and not worry ?
[20:03] <wtay> yup
[20:04] <wtay> or guchar, not sure...
[20:04] <thomas> because I want to keep the fast_ function
[20:04] <thomas> since it's a good idea to make small filters inline
[20:04] <thomas> not sure if it works though !
[20:08] <thomas> wtay: does GST_BUFFER_SIZE return the size in SAMPLES or=
 in BYTES ?
[20:08] <sienap> thomas he pretty cool
[20:08] <wtay> bytes
[20:08] <sienap> some kind of dummy plugin :)
[20:08] <sienap> really nice for starteres
[20:08] <sienap> starters even as me :)
[20:10] <thomas> ok... something's not right here
[20:11] <sienap> wtay did you look at anjuta someday ?
[20:11] <thomas> of course, if I use gchar to cast the data to the fast_c=
hain function
[20:11] <sienap> it is an GREAT ide
[20:11] <wtay> sienap: yup
[20:11] <thomas> my data ends up being 8 bit wide
[20:11] <thomas> which is not what I want
[20:11] <thomas> hmmm....
[20:11] <wtay> nope
[20:11] <thomas> (thinking)
[20:11] <sienap> http://anjuta.sourceforge.net/ <<
[20:11] <wtay> thomas: you need to know more about the media type that co=
mes in
[20:11] <sienap> it has druids for making a new app maybe add an gstreame=
r thingy as well :)
[20:11] <thomas> wtay do you think the inline directive is really useful =
here ?
[20:12] <wtay> thomas: yeah sure
[20:12] <thomas> wtay: ok; any ideas on making the fast_chain function no=
t have to know about the width ?
[20:12] <sienap> inline directive ?
[20:12] <thomas> sienap: the inline directive tells the compiler
[20:12] <thomas> sienap: to try to put as much as possible in registers
[20:12] <thomas> so that it might run faster
[20:12] <sienap> aah ic..
[20:12] <sienap> :)
[20:12] <sienap> he indeed
[20:13] <wtay> thomas: what does the fast_chain do?
[20:13] <thomas> well... in stereo2mono you have fast_chain_16bit
[20:13] <thomas> and fast_chain_8bit
[20:13] <thomas> I only want one, fast_chain
[20:13] <thomas> and have it not care about the bit width
[20:13] <thomas> I mean : if I do each sample /2
[20:13] <wtay> thomas: how can you do that?
[20:14] <thomas> it does not need to care if it's gchar or gint
[20:14] <thomas> but indeed
[20:14] <thomas> how do I do that ?
[20:14] <thomas> okay
[20:14] <thomas> the cheaters way out
[20:14] <wtay> look at the negotiate functions of stereo2mono
[20:14] <thomas> would be to define a macro to do the actual filtering
[20:14] <thomas> but that would be limiting
[20:15] <thomas> wtay: no, the problem is purely on a C level
[20:15] <wtay> you'll have to get the bit width from the pad capabilities
[20:15] <wtay> thomas: oh
[20:15] <thomas> I want to transfer the pointer to the data
[20:15] <thomas> but have the pointer type be defined by the calling func=
tion
[20:15] <wtay> void*
[20:15] <thomas> so how can I do that if I have to declare the type
[20:15] <thomas> oh yeah...
[20:15] <thomas> but will it know the width ?
[20:15] <thomas> I'll test with a sizeof...
[20:16] <wtay> err?
[20:16] <wtay> the width of the samples you mean?
[20:16] <thomas> no, of the data passed
[20:16] <thomas> if you cast it as (gint16* ) before passing it on, the p=
ointer mechanism "knows" it's workin with two byte data
[20:16] <thomas> and treats the data as such
[20:16] <wtay> oh
[20:16] <wtay> yeah sizeof then
[20:17] <wtay> pass it as an extra arg
[20:17] <thomas> you mean I should re-cast them inside the fast function =
then ?
[20:17] <thomas> that might work too
[20:17] <wtay> not sure what you are doing there...
[20:18] <thomas> i'll see if i get it right first
[20:18] <thomas> maybe i'm way off base
[20:19] <thomas> pff... "can't dereference void* ptr"...
[20:19] <thomas> I'll explain what I want to do
[20:19] <thomas> The filter should not have to worry about the bit width =
of the samples, right ?
[20:19] <thomas> in stereo2mono, you first check the bit width
[20:20] <thomas> then pass it on to one of the two fast_chain functions
[20:20] <wtay> ok
[20:20] <thomas> both implement the same sort of code, right ?
[20:20] <wtay> yup
[20:20] <thomas> so if I make one fast_chain function
[20:20] <thomas> I have to find a way to put in the data
[20:20] <thomas> in such a way
[20:20] <thomas> that it is typecasted to be the right width
[20:20] <thomas> automatically
[20:20] <thomas> so that I can do something like this in the loop :
[20:21] <thomas>     (*out_data)[i] =3D in_data[i] / 2;
[20:21] <thomas>  and in_data could be either gchar* or gint*
[20:21] <thomas> but it doesn't care
[20:21] <thomas> so now the question is :
[20:21] <wtay> you can't do that in C
[20:21] <thomas> how do I do that
[20:21] <thomas> wtay: really ?
[20:22] <thomas> that sucks...
[20:22] <thomas> what if we also want to do 24bit and 32 bit audio ?
[20:22] <thomas> that means four times the same code
[20:22] <wtay> they must be separate functions AFAIK
[20:23] <thomas> ok...
[20:23] <thomas> wait...
[20:23] <wtay> you can do it in java though...
[20:23] <thomas> so in stereo2mono, you allocate a 16 bit wide output buf=
fer anyway, right ?
[20:23] sienap (sy...@ip...) left irc: sienap has no rea=
son
[20:23] <wtay> thomas: hmm
[20:23] <thomas> so the smartest thing to do now would be to treat 8bit a=
s 16bit anyway
[20:24] <thomas> and figure out the hard parts later
[20:24] <thomas> I'm not even sure if that would really make it slower
[20:24] <thomas> or am I wrong ?
[20:24] <wtay> I don't see how you are going to solve this
[20:25] <wtay> C only knows about types at compile time
[20:25] <thomas> yeah, but if I just convert it to 16 bit in case it's 8 =
bit
[20:25] <thomas> and have the filter function always work on 16 bit data =
?
[20:25] <wtay> and how would you know it's 8 bit data?
[20:25] <thomas> well, how do you know ?
[20:26] <thomas> I mean, you switch on the width, right ?
[20:26] <wtay> yes
[20:26] <thomas> so, if, based on width, I transfer the 8 bit data to 16 =
bit data
[20:26] <thomas> (probably by copyin it)
[20:26] <thomas> and then run a 16bit fast_chain filter on it
[20:26] <wtay> hmm
[20:26] <thomas> I know it's stupid
[20:26] <wtay> yeah it kinda is..
[20:26] <thomas> but how many people use 8bit audio
[20:26] <wtay> a waste of cycles
[20:27] <thomas> even though that's a bad argument
[20:27] <thomas> I don't see another way around this at the moment
[20:27] <wtay> nope
[20:27] <wtay> me neither
[20:27] <thomas> though I should think it can be done
[20:27] <wtay> a define can handle it
[20:27] <thomas> yes, if the function is simple
[20:27] <thomas> well...
[20:27] <thomas> I'll try a define first
[20:28] <thomas> no : I'll get some food first
[20:28] <wtay> and have X function entries all using the same define..
[20:28] <wtay> I'd do it like that...

[21:52] <ryu> hi
[21:53] <ryu> should be possible to use the TrueSpeech windows codec?
[21:53] <ryu> with gstreamer?
[21:53] <sienap> no clue about that
[21:54] <sienap> if it is possible to use it via wine
[21:54] <sienap> it is possible to use it in gstreamer
[21:54] <sienap> however you should look at it.. :)
[21:54] <ryu> afaik it's compliant with the windows media codec api
[21:54] <sienap> how is ganso going ?
[21:54] <ryu> so it should be loadable through wine like the divx codec
[21:54] <ryu> ganso is... rebuilding from scratch :D
[21:55] <ryu> but some friends want to make a program that uses this code=
c
[21:55] <ryu> and I want to convince them to use gstreamer if possible
[21:56] <ryu> how can I say gstreamer to use the X.dll windows codec?
[21:56] Nick change: hadess -> hds-tv
[21:57] <ryu> rebuilding the register should appear if it's in the window=
s codecs directory?
[21:57] <sienap> ryu i have no idea about that
[21:57] <sienap> ryu no
[21:57] <sienap> not every windows codec is possible to implent
[21:58] <ryu> ok
[21:58] <sienap> however ganso is with gstreamer now ?
[21:59] <ryu> but should be able to load it without writing code? I mean,=
 like I load the mp3 codec?
[22:02] <sienap> he
[22:02] <sienap> don't think so
[22:02] <sienap> i mean come an..
[22:02] <sienap> linux is not windows
[22:02] <sienap> don't think you can use everything from wind0ze :)
[22:03] <ryu> ok ok
[22:03] <ryu> so
[22:04] <ryu> how gstmediaplay loads divx?=BF
[22:04] <ryu> it writes its own parser?
[22:04] Nick change: taaz -> taaz-away
[22:04] <sienap> he it uses some wine stuff
[22:04] <sienap> it is an old trick
[22:04] <sienap> not found out by gstreamer :)
[22:04] <ryu> I know
[22:05] <sienap> not sure how itw orks
[22:05] <ryu> avifile uses it
[22:05] <ryu> but
[22:05] <sienap> i am not a great coder remember :)
[22:05] <ryu> the parser that reads divx with wine is in gstmediaplay or =
in gstreamer?
