So I found an interesting issue today with GNOME 2.14 and gstreamer; |
| 2 |
Specifically I upgraded to GNOME 2.14 (which compiled against |
| 3 |
gstreamer-0.10) and everything went relatively smoothly. A week later, |
| 4 |
I decided to create a new user and found that banshee or rhytmbox |
| 5 |
wouldn't play any music due to missing gconf keys. I check multimedia |
| 6 |
properties in GNOME and manual select esdsink since the already |
| 7 |
selected auto detect wasn't working and still had the same issue, no |
| 8 |
sound with the same error. |

|
| 10 |
Turns out, multimedia properties were changing the gconf entries for |
| 11 |
gstreamer 0.10.x, but banshee/rhythmbox was looking under 0.8.x. Those |
| 12 |
apps worked under my previous user because they already had been set, |
| 13 |
but since I created a new user, they were set to their defaults of |
| 14 |
osssink which doesn't work on my machine. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
So how can we handle this issue? Maybe noting something in an upgrade |
| 17 |
document or stabilize versions of apps which have gstreamer-0.10 |
| 18 |
support before GNOME 2.14 goes stable? |
