gst-visualise - Run a GStreamer pipeline to display an audio visualisation
SYNOPSIS
gst-visualise [visualiser]
DESCRIPTION
gst-visualise is a tool that is used to run a basic GStreamer pipeline, to display a graphical visualisation of an audio stream.
By default, the audio stream is read from ESD (the Enlightened Sound Daemon), but this can be changed by setting the AUDIOSRC parameter in
~/.gst. For example, you might set "AUDIOSRC=osssrc" to display a visualisation of the sound input to your soundcard.
You can select a visualiser by providing a parameter naming the visualiser. For example:
gst-visualise synaesthesia
will use the synaesthesia plugin. If no visualiser is named, the VISUALIZER property in ~/.gst will be used. If this is not specified
either, the goom visualiser will be used.
The videosink to use to display the visualisation will be read from the VIDEOSINK parameter in ~/.gst, defaulting to sdlvideosink.

gst-launch-ext - Run a predefined GStreamer pipeline
SYNOPSIS
gst-launch-ext filename [filename...]
DESCRIPTION
gst-launch-ext is a tool that is used to run a basic predefined GStreamer pipeline. This application is only used as a quick test to
ensure proper working of codecs and GStreamer. It doesn't handle more advanced features like synchronisation.
All supported formats in GStreamer should be playable by simply typing:
gst-launch-ext filename
It will also print out the pipeline it uses, so you can customize it using cut and paste.
CONFIGURATION
gst-launch-ext can be configured by creating a .gst file in your home directory. This is a perl-style configuration file and can override
the defaults for audio and video output sinks.
Here is an example .gst file that implements the same defaults as hard-coded in the script :
$cfg{AUDIOSINK} = "osssink"; $cfg{VIDEOSINK} = "colorspace ! xvideosink";
You can change osssink to any of esdsink, alsasink, jacksink (if you have the plug-in), and you can change xvideosink to aasink or
sdlvideosink.
Other plug-ins might be used as well if GStreamer has them.

Hello,
I have a script (videostream.sh) which invokes the GStreamer command-line tool gst-launch with all the correct command line parameters. When I invoke this program, I add the '&' character at the end to make it a background task, so that my script can complete and exit, i.e.
gst-launch... (1 Reply)
