python, appsrc, signal "need-data" emitted only once

[Jan Martinek-2]

Hi everyone,

some time ago (2009?) I wrote a couple of Python scripts playing some
generated waveform on the speakers. It used to work fine.

Now my programs are obsolete and do not work. I made a very simplified
example:

------------------------
#!/usr/bin/python
import gobject
gobject.threads_init()
import gst, gtk
import random

class Sound:
     def __init__(self):
         self.player = gst.parse_launch('''appsrc name=source !
capsfilter
caps=audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2,depth=16,signed=true !
gconfaudiosink''')
         playersrc = self.player.get_by_name('source')
         playersrc.connect('need-data', self.needdata)
         self.player.set_state(gst.STATE_PLAYING)
         gtk.main()

     def needdata(self, src, length):
         print 'need-data:', length
         data = ''
         for i in range(length):
             data = data + chr(random.randint(0, 255))
         src.emit('push-buffer', gst.Buffer(data))

sa = Sound()
-----------------

This should produce a noise from random data. It does not work because
"need-data" signal is called only once.

On the old system it plays a noise. Is is possible to make it work?

Thank you
Jan

All this code is written for GStreamer 0.10, which isn't supported
anymore.

With 1.0 move, we now use gobject-instrospection.

Notice the you need to convert a bit, gst to Gst, gtk to Gtk.

Caps filters have changed a bit. This would be "audio/x-
raw,rate=44100,channels=2,format=S16LE". gconfaudiosink no longer
exist, as gconf no longer exist. Use autoaudiosink instead.

Buffers have considerably changed now. GstBuffer are containers for
GstMemory objects. GstMemory object need to be map/unmap in order to
access the data. This is a bit incompatible with python. For your use
case though, you can use Gst.Buffer.new_wrapped(). This will input a
python bytearray(), wrap it into a GstMemory and append it to a newly
allocated GstBuffer. Something like this:

> data = bytearray()
> for i in range(length):
>   data.append(random.randint(0, 255))
> src.emit('push-buffer', Gst.Buffer.new_wrapped(data))
