Hi all.

My first post, I'm not capable of C programming but believe I can assist with basic error searching (gdb is out of my scope, strace and ltrace I understand, more or less :)

My issue is that if I use rhythmbox or banshee that both use gstreamer they get stalled/hang after changing to a new song. It basically just hangs and a2dpd says something about client error. (Other clients continue to work.)

xmms only behaves like this when I manually restart playing the same track again (hit the play button while the song is playing). To me, it looks like the way gstreamer connects to alsa needs attention? Or is it alsasink that has issues talking to the a2dpd device?

How should I proceed to find out where things go wrong?

What do you want me to report if noone has reported this (sounds unlikely to me, but google didn't give me much help otoh) to be of help to you?

* Ubunty Feisty (latest/up-to-date kernel and packages from Ubuntu distribution)
* a2dpd built from CVS
(http://bluetooth-alsa.sourceforge.net/build.html), got it at 2007-09-11 06:15 CET.

Thanks in advance,

Fredrik Wendt

Hi Fredrik,

You should give a try to the new bluez audio service, see
http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices.
It should work just fine on gstreamer based applications.

Good luck,

Fabien
