did you build all of the ports that depend on gstreamer against gstreamer-0.10.x? considering that gstreamer-0.10 is not API compatible with gstreamer-0.8, and gstreamer-0.10 was released _after_ some of the versions of the ports in the tree that depend on gstreamer ... also, how are you using gstreamer-0.10? do you have any audio output plugins installed? you have made ports for gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10? gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10? > My question: does anyone here have a setup in which they use a > diverse selection of audio applications which all end up sending their > output through the same daemon?

I suggest reading the documentation for whatever audio output programs you use, and either set the output sample rate in configuration files or make aliases in your shell. > I notice esddsp is not included in the esound port, and I assume this > is because OpenBSD's audio interface is not compatable with it (could > it somehow be made to work with OSS emulation?). there are some problems with OSS emulation. it should be avoided if possible. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
