Dear Maintainer, I'm trying to stream sound to an Icecast server, from a gstreamer pipeline that monitors a dedicate pulseaudio sink. However, this fails with any version of libshout3 above 2.4.1-2 (I tested all versions from 2.4.1-1 onwards, with snapshot.debian.org). Version 2.4.1-2 gives the following: $ LANG=C gst-launch-1.0 -e pulsesrc device=icecast.monitor ! audioconvert ! flacenc ! oggmux ! shout2send ip=$ip port=8000 password=hackme mount=stream.ogg Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ... Pipeline is PREROLLED ... Setting pipeline to PLAYING ... New clock: GstPulseSrcClock Redistribute latency... Redistribute latency... notification: Speex header too small 0:00:17.6 / 99:99:99. [Then I interrupt with ^C, but it does work] Upgrading libshout3 (and only libshout3) gives the following: $ LANG=C gst-launch-1.0 -e pulsesrc device=icecast.monitor ! audioconvert ! flacenc ! oggmux ! shout2send ip=$ip port=8000 password=hackme mount=stream.ogg Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ... Pipeline is PREROLLED ... Setting pipeline to PLAYING ... New clock: GstPulseSrcClock Redistribute latency... Redistribute latency...
