bool gnash::media::gst::GstUtil::check_missing_plugins

(

GstCaps *

caps

)

[static]

Check for missing plugins and try to install them if necessary.

The installation, if applicable, will happen synchronously!

Parameters:

caps	Indicates the type of media to search for.

Returns:

if there is a decoder available to decode the passed type, or if we succeeded in installing one, returns true. Otherwise, returns false.

GstElement * gnash::media::gst::GstUtil::get_audiosink_element

(

)

[static]

Returns a pointer to GstElement representing a user-configurable audio sink, or NULL if such a sink could not be created.

get_audiosink_element() tries the following strategies to get an audiosink: 1. Looks into ~/.gnashrc for a pipeline description given by the property GSTAudioSink 2. If none (or invalid) is found, tries "autoaudiosink" 3. If autoaudiosink comes up blank, tries "gconfaudiosink" 4. If gconfaudiosink can't produce a non-NULL element, the method returns NULL.

A pipeline description is specified in one of two ways in ~/.gnashrc: 1. A "trivial" pipeline is simply the name of an element, like "fakesink" 2. A "non-trivial" pipeline is a full sub-pipeline specification, given in a way that complies with the gst-launch manual page. The audiosink's sub-pipeline must accept x/raw-{int,float} data and feed it into a sink. The entire audiosink will be placed in a GstBin named "gnashrcsink" with a number based on the number of gnashrcsinks that have been allocated so far.
