Gstreamer error

[GoogleCodeExporter]

ubuntu gutsy
pychess svn r788, running from source with PYTHONPATH=lib pychess command:

14:09:22 Default Warning: Gstreamer error 'Resource not found.':
gstplaybasebin.c(1573): gen_source_element (): /playbin0

and "Use sounds..." is disabled on sound preferences tab.

In pychess beta2, installed from package, sounds are ok.

Have you tried beta2 again after trunk?
That's kinda strange.
IIRC nothing has been changed in this area since beta2. Beta2 should also 
disable
sound faced with that gstreamer error.

It seams like a gstreamer or hardware error to me.
However I find it strange that you say it works on beta2 :S

Hmm. We have 2 .deb for beta2.
As i see (and i tested this one):
http://pychess.googlecode.com/files/pychess_0.8-beta2_all.deb
but this is beta1 inside!!!

And the real beta2 .deb from here:
http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=PyChess
and this produces the same bug.

I think something gst related cod had changed between beta1 and beta2.

Yes it has indeed.
But afair only catching fo the gstreamer error, and disabling sound, has been 
changed.
You don't get that Gstreamer error to the terminal in beta1?
If you do, there is probably something wrong with the way the error is caught.

1. Starting beta1 from sources enables sound setup panel, and selected sound 
files
can tested in place OK. But when playing a game while sound settig dialog left 
open
got errors:
gstalsasink.c(622): gst_alsasink_open (): /audiosink-actual-sink-alsa:
Device 'default' is busy
If close settings dialog before starting a new game, sounds are OK.

2. Starting beta2 from sources (or svn), the sound settings are diabled, and 
got:
19:45:41 Default Warning: Gstreamer error 'Resource not found.':
gstplaybasebin.c(1573): gen_source_element (): /playbin0

Tried on ubuntu gutsy, shipped with gst* packeges:
tamas@tami:~$ dpkg -l gst*

Without "error" signal handling, changing back as was in beta1, i get the error
"gstplaybasebin.c(1573): gen_source_element (): /playbin0" to the console, but 
sound
handling is OK.

Ok. In that case we should disable to disabling code in trunk, until we have a 
better
way of testing. And as far as I´ve understood on the gstreamer guys, there 
really is
no good way.
