This is my configuration (x86_64 system): Webcam: Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks. It uses the zc3xx driver (kernel 2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.x86_64) Cheese 2.22.3 Ekiga 2.0.12 GStreamer 0.10.20 The webcam works fine with Ekiga, v4l2 is selected in the Preferences tab. It doesn't work however in cheese or others (skype). cheese -v reports this when trying to record video from the webcam: (cheese:4069): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_value_set_fraction: assertion `denominator != 0' failed Detected webcam: USB Camera (046d:08dd) device: /dev/video0 (cheese:4069): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_set_state: assertion `GST_IS_ELEMENT (element)' failed (cheese:4069): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_set_locked_state: assertion `GST_IS_ELEMENT (element)' failed I tried to use gstreamer-properties to figure out what is happening. In the video tab, the output seems to be fine, the test runs OK. However, when I try to run the test for my webcam (it is detected here again) with v4l2, I get this: gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'artsdsink' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdsink' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'v4lmjpegsrc' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'qcamsrc' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdmon' gstreamer-properties-Message: Error running pipeline 'Video for Linux 2 (v4l2)': Could not negotiate format [gstbasesrc.c(2436): gst_base_src_start (): /pipeline0/v4l2src3: Check your filtered caps, if any] and the program closes. If I select v4l, I get a window full of green noise. So I suppose this is some problem related with the v4l2 plugin for gstreamer, but I don't know how to fix this. I've Googled it and I saw people from other distributions having the same problem, but usually an update fixed the problem. My Fedora system is up to date. Any ideas?

(still) On Sun, 2009-03-29 at 13:13 +0200, DB wrote: > OK<<< so "sink" = front & "source" = back (generally!) No, that's different things altogether. Source is the source of something, a sink is the opposite - where somethings output goes. And neither are to do with front-end and back-end. Front-end and back-end are the apparent and unapparent parts of something. e.g. Take any program, the front-end is the user-interface that you play with, the back-end is all the programming behind it. Analogies are generally a bad idea, try to understand something directly, rather than trying to inappropriately apply it to something unrelated. You might as well say email's like fish, and usenet is like turtles, and then try to explain their correlation with concrete. SANE (scanning software), its front-end is the bit you choose what to scan, etc., the back-end is all the driving the computer does to use the scanner. CUPS (printing software), the front-end is the parts you see when you want to control how to print something, or choose which printer, the back-end is what *it* does to your information to make it work with particular printers. In audio, a source could be the digitised audio from a microphone, a sink could be the input side of an effects generator. Further down the chain, that effects generator could be a sound source that would go to a recorder, with the recorder being its sink. While source is a good term to use in that case, as it's not an analogy (a "sound source" is a proper description) I think using "sink" was a bad case of putting an analogy into terminology, in the first place. In the real world, you put something in a sink and it goes down the drain, never to be seen again (except by sewage processors). It's not exactly representative of how you might make *use* of something, it's a disposal terminology. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Unfortunately, yes, though not necessarily with mp3 files only. My F10 system also suffers from "snap, crackle and pop" syndrome with all audio reproduction.
