| Notes: |
| |
| |
| Various plugins in the upstream source are not yet packaged. This is |
| most likely due to: |
| |
| * upstream considers them too unstable |
| * libraries they depend on are not are yet in Debian |
| |
| |
| Your favorite codec isn't wrapped as a plugin? External programs can be |
| used to process streams. Take a look at "pipefilter" element or try |
| something like this: |
| |
| $ mkfifo fifo |
| $ gst-launch myaudiosrc ! disksink location=fifo & |
| $ cat fifo | my_encoder > output_file |
| |
| |
| mp3 encoding plugins are NOT packaged. Specifically, the LAME plugin is |
| NOT packaged due to Debian not including the LAME libraries. Please see |
| the following links for more information: |

| unsupported diff might be found at: |

| Ogg Vorbis provides a good alternative to mp3s. Try the |
| gstreamer-vorbis package. For more information: |
