GStreamer Conference 2011

Hi everyone,
Just thought I send out a status update for the GStreamer Conference
2011. The program is starting to come together now with just a few more
items needing to be verified. We got some really interesting talks lined
up, as you see reflected in the updated topics teaser list on the
conference website:
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/conference/

I would also like to remind people that if you register early you will
qualify for a reduced early bird fee for attending the conference, so if
you plan on going you should register as quickly as possible.

Being involved with also organizing the CE Linux Conference, that is
co-hosted alongside the GStreamer conference I can also tell you that
the program for that conference looks really good, same goes for the
LinuxCon program. So if you are only going to one conference this year,
then I definitely recommend doing a GStreamer+CE Linux combo in Prague
this October :)

Anyway, looking forward to seeing you all there, and make sure to
register on :
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/conference/

Sincerely,
Christian Schalle

Rygel 0.11.3 (Icarus Abides)

Rygel 0.11.3 (Icarus Abides) is out!

Another release in the unstable release cycle.

Changes since 0.11.2:

- Fixed an abort if the client requested chunks of data being too small.
- Fix memory leaking related to file upload.
- Work-around a crash when the service description file is invalid.
- Make rygel a single-instance app. If a new instance is started, the old
  instance will be shut down. This is likely to be reversed in a future
  release.
- Fix an UPnP compatibility regression.
- Fix resolution and framerate for MPEG_TS_HD_NA_ISO transcoder.
- Adapt to changes in upcoming vala-0.14
- Allow UPnP class generalization on upload to DLNA_ORG.AnyContainer.
- Add transcoders for AAC_ISO_320 and AVC_MP4_BL_CIF15_AAC_520. Note that both
  are disabled by default since GStreamer has some issues with these
  pipelines.

- IOP:
  - Fix IOP with XBox 360's music browsing.
  - Fix IOP with Samsung Galaxy S.
  - Fix IOP with Allegro clients.

- Tracker:
  - Properly escape meta-data strings.
  - Update search containers if tracker content changes.
  - Fix wrong search result when "exists true" was searched for artist, album
    and genre.

Waveform For GNOME Sound Recorder

I understand that Sound Recorder is simple and functional and works well. However, from a usage standpoint, it seems that a live waveform display would provide valuable visual feedback to the user.


I'm wanting to see if I can implement this (gives me a chance to brush up on some C) but wanted to get feedback from the community first before diving into it.

Good idea? Bad idea? What sorts of dependencies would need to be introduce?


Thanks,
daV.e

I thinks it’s indeed a good idea. One could probably implement it using Cairo directly, or use a
higher-level API like goocanvas.

I planned to add a waveform widget to Transcribe [1], so I started looking at the implementations in other
applications. Pitivi has a waveform for audio tracks, and Jokosher as well. Jokosher might be
interesting, as it also displays a waveform while recording. In addition, I like Jokoshers approach to
draw a smoothed outline, and not a realistic waveform, but that probably has pros and cons.

Since I’m not really a pro coder, I’d be interested in sharing ideas about the implementation. I
don’t know if it would make sense to create an actual waveform widget that different applications could
use, since the actual use cases are quite different. But sharing some insights and maybe document the
actual work in form of a blog post or something might be a good way to collaborate.

Cheers,
Frederik

I'd just use cairo. I have a simple cairo waveform widget in buzztard
that draw the wwave-form from a memory buffer.

The jokosher one is indeed a good suggestion. jokosher uses the
gstreamer level element to produce a level-scape, which I think suits well.

Re: Waveform For GNOME Sound Recorder

Thanks for the pointers. I'll look into things as I have time. I've spent the last several days learning to use GTK+ and a little bit of Gstreamer. I've also inspected a lot of the code for the Gnome Sound Recorder and it looks fairly straight-forward (that is, now that I've learned the basics).
