Bug ID: 748681
Summary: directsoundsrc: device-name doesn't accept windows
given names if there are special characters in
Classification: Platform
Product: GStreamer
Version: git master
OS: Windows
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: gst-plugins-bad
Assignee: gstreamer-***@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: ***@roosesweb.de
QA Contact: gstreamer-***@lists.freedesktop.org
GNOME version: ---

device-name doesn't accept windows given names if there are special characters
in - eg. german "(High Definition Audio-Gerät)". But works if you change the
naming in windows registry, which is only possible for testing purposes. May an
device-ID (GUID) based solution is needed!?

The best thing would be to implement GstDeviceProvider support.

The reason this doesn't work is that your locale is ISO-8859-15 and the string
is not converted from locale to utf-8.

IIRC, the device-name only accepts GUIDs, so you can't give it a real name
anyways, so this bug is invalid. You can use DirectSoundEnumerate to find the
needed GUID.

GstDeviceProvider support would be nice though.

Some conversion from locale encoding to UTF8 and back is needed here, we
shouldn't expose non-UTF8 strings via properties, etc.

g_locale_from_utf8() and g_locale_to_utf8() would be the relevant functions and
we use them in various places already, but apparently not everywhere.

Does someone want to make a patch for this?

On a side note, our focus is more on the wasapi elements these days, so you may
want to check if it works there or not. There's also GstDeviceMonitor support
these days I believe, although that might not help you from gst-launch.

Same here. On german windwos directsoundsrc don't work! There is no GUID for
this Device, so i can't connect them over GUID

Device found:

name : Primärer Soundaufnahmetreiber
class : Audio/Source
caps : audio/x-raw, format=(string){ S16LE, S8 },
layout=(string)interleaved, rate=(int)[ 1, 2147483647 ], channels=(int)[ 1, 2
];
properties:
device.api = directsound
device.guid = "\(NULL\)"
directsound.device.driver = ""
directsound.device.description = "Prim\303\244rer\
Soundaufnahmetreiber"
gst-launch-1.0 directsoundsrc ! ...
