Package: gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
Version: 0.10.6-5
Severity: normal
Hello,
In 0.10.6-5 you introduced HTTP soup plugin. However, it appears to be
of the much worse quality than neonhttpsrc (included in the same
package) because:
1) It adds noise and skipping to MP3 streams.
2) Its iradio-mode seems to be broken because it does not report title
of the currently playing song (shoutcast).
I wouldn't care about souphttpsrc quality if it wasn't prefered to
neonhttpsrc. E.g. yauap [1] with 0.10.6-4 plays the stream perfectly
while yauap with 0.10.6-5 [2] exhibits the problems described above.
Please consider removing soup plugin or making neonhttpsrc default for
http/https.
P.S. I don't know if it's soup plugin fault directly. [2] plays well
whereas [3] suffers from skipping and noise. However, rm'ing libgstsouphttpsrc.so
solves playback problems (because the only other alternative, neonhttpsrc,
is used then).
1. yauap -v http://scfire-dll-aa02.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1040
2. $ gst-launch -v souphttpsrc location=http://scfire-dll-aa02.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1040 ! mad ! volume volume=0.8 ! alsasink
3. $ gst-launch playbin uri=http://scfire-dll-aa02.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1040 volume=0.8
