Video but no sound

[Stephen Holmes]

Just messing around with my openSUSE 11.0 install (latest patches up to
RC4/GM).  MP4 video (video podcasts) play just fine, but there's no
audio.  Playing in mplayer is just fine.  

Running with --debug, I get...

[Debug 23:10:42.386] Player state change: Idle -> Loading
** Message: don't know how to handle audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)4,
framed=(boolean)true, codec_data=(buffer)1210, rate=(int)44100,
channels=(int)2

So I guess I'm missing something in the mp4 codec, but I have gstreamer
good, bad and ugly present.

Where should I look?  Any ideas?

Steve.

Sounds like you need a mp3 decoder for the audio data.

Yeah, I'd thought that originally, so I installed fluendo-mp3 and other
components, aswell as a bunch of other mp2 and mp3 decoders.  The debug
log above though seems to want an version 4 for the mpegversion, so I
was wondering what decoder might help?

MPEG 4 audio is also known as AAC, if I remember correctly.
'gst-inspect0.10 faad' on my system suggests that you should be able to
find a decoder in a gstreamer-plugins-bad package from your package
manager of choice.

And if that doesn't work, gstreamer-ffmpeg (gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg in
oS 11) is usually a pretty good shotgun approach to the codec problem.

Useful tip Christopher, thanks!  I get the following output (below)... I
guess the part I'm 'not getting' is (1) Is the encoder to content
association made automatically by gtreamer and (2) Is there a way to
force/edit/change an association?

Yes.  There are a bunch of typefind elements for exactly this purpose.
 Also, Banshee just uses the playbin element, one of Gstreamer's
auto-plugging bins.

Not that I know of.

The sink caps on faad say that it supports audio/mpeg version 4 (and
2, but that's not interesting).  I'm not sure why it wouldn't be
getting autoplugged.

Does running "gst-launch0.10 playbin
uri=file:///path/to/your/file.mp4" play the file correctly?  You can
add the '-v' parameter to make the playbin output what elements it's
using to decode.
