Hi Geof,
apologies if the email was not clear: I guess for me getting some sound was
not considered good enough :-)
The audio sink IS BLOCKING (OK to block is indeed set to YES)
and as I mentioned in the last email, a nice 440Hz tone generated by a
signal source is PERFECTLY audible.
As I mentioned earlier, I am starting to believe that the "wav file source"
is not working properly.
Can anyone confirm a working configuration with:
Wav File Source --> Audio Sink
Thanks
Achilleas
