latest gstreamer build - mad blacklisted

[stuart68]

Hi,

Building the latest gstreamer release results with a build that is missing the mad plugin. Using gst-inspect I get:

id3demux:  id3demux: ID3 tag demuxer
audioparsersbad:  aacparse: AAC audio stream parser
audioparsersbad:  amrparse: AMR audio stream parser
audioparsersbad:  ac3parse: AC3 audio stream parser
audioparsersbad:  dcaparse: DTS Coherent Acoustics audio stream parser
audioparsersbad:  flacparse: FLAC audio parser
audioparsersbad:  mpegaudioparse: MPEG1 Audio Parser
flac:  flacenc: FLAC audio encoder
flac:  flacdec: FLAC audio decoder
flac:  flactag: FLAC tagger
aiff:  aiffparse: AIFF audio demuxer
aiff:  aiffmux: AIFF audio muxer
uridecodebin:  decodebin2: Decoder Bin
uridecodebin:  uridecodebin: URI Decoder
staticelements:  bin: Generic bin
staticelements:  pipeline: Pipeline object

Total count: 37 plugins (1 blacklist entry not shown), 828 features

When decoding mp3 only the ffmpeg decoder is available. Using an older version allows mad to be used, why has this been done? Is it related to licensing?

Could you be more specific? Which version(s) of which modules?

gst-inspect-0.10 -b

should show the blacklisted entries.

Try:

 $ rm ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry*

and then

 $ gst-inspect-0.10

or (assuming plugins go into prefix /usr)

  $ gst-inspect-0.10 /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstmad.so

to see what the issue is.

It's likely a build or packaging issue of some sort, and not on purpose.
