add a variable delay to an audio stream

[Stefano]

Hi all,

I know that someone has already asked for this, but I can't find a solution.
I need to introduce in the audio stream of one branch of my pipeline a variable delay.
I try using an audiofirfilter but I think it's not a good solution since the kernel of the filter could have even thousands of elements, but only the last of them is different from zero. So it seems a waste of resources, and also sometimes I get an error while playing. Could the error be because the kernel is too big? Or because I modify the kernel while playing?
Could a solution be use a data buffer probe or an identity element in order to modify the timestamp of the buffer? But there are two problems:
gst_buffer_is_metadata_writable tells me that the data is not writable, and anyway even if I modify the timestamp I don't get any effect.

is there anybody who has had the same problem and has solved it in some way?


Thank you for your help in advance,
Stefano

You would probably need to insert a silent (gap) buffer and modify the
timestamp.

There is also a bug for what sounds a similar request:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653601

personally I'd prefer an element like in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641024
which would work for audio and video. It could (optionally) insert
gap-buffers for padding (when increasing the delay) or drop buffers
(when lowering the delay).
