I can not play mp3 files using rhythmbox

Hello,

I have OSS installed on my system as I can  not get ALSA working.

None of my gstreamer dependent apps are able to output any sound, though VLC works fine.

I have set osssink using gstreamer-properties and installed  following packages  package via pacman.

[amey@myhost ~]$ sudo pacman -Ss  gstreamer0.10
extra/gstreamer0.10 0.10.35-1 [installed]
    GStreamer Multimedia Framework
extra/gstreamer0.10-bad 0.10.22-3 (gstreamer0.10-plugins) [installed]

Could you please tell me what I am missing.

Re: I can not play mp3 files using rhythmbox

Of course vlc is working it have it's own codecs, try it in audacious, then you will know with it's gstreamer fault or rhythmbox fault. I don't know how to solve your problem but i installed all gstreamer related in my last arch install and it was working...

Re: I can not play mp3 files using rhythmbox

Hi netonardin,

Thanks for the inputs.

I installed audacious and found that with default settings it can not play any song. I got following log on console

Failed to load plugin (/usr/lib/audacious/Input/madplug.so): libmpg123.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to load plugin (/usr/lib/audacious/Container/cue.so): libcue.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[mp3 @ 0x7f1fa800ad00] max_analyze_duration 5000000 reached at 5015510

But when I set the default audio output device to OSS then sound came. So now problem is how do I tell rythmbox to choose oss. I have already set that via gstreamer-properties.
