and reencoded it with $ oggenc stupid-file.wav Now $ gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=stupid-file.wav ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! alsasink does *NOT* produce the cracking sounds, while $ gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=stupid-file.ogg ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! alsasink does! -- alsasink results in cracking basses https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/165021 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gst-plugins-base0.10 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
