RUNNING pipeline ...
ALSA lib pcm.c:824:(snd_pcm_sw_params) snd_pcm_sw_params: params->avail_min
problem for start_threshold
ERROR: from element /pipeline0/alsasink0: Could not get/set settings from/on
resource.
ALSA lib pcm.c:824:(snd_pcm_sw_params) snd_pcm_sw_params: params->avail_min
problem for start_threshold
ERROR: pipeline doesn't want to play.

but it works if i use the OSS or ESD plugins. (and the file plays through A=
LSA
if i use another ALSA-using app, such as ogg123)

do you need any more info than this?

cheers,
Sam
