动态添加和移除GStreamer管道中的音频源

Question

我写了一个简单的Python脚本，使用一个叫做Adder的插件来把两个音源混合在一起。

程序启动后，你会听到一个由audiotestsrc插件生成的1kHz音调。当你按下回车键时，另一个500Hz的测试音调会连接到Adder上，这样你就能同时听到这两个音调。（顺便说一下，我不太明白为什么在这里需要把管道重新设置为播放状态才能听到混音。有没有办法在不重启管道的情况下插入新的音源呢？）

当你再次按下回车键时，1kHz的音调应该从混音中移除，而500Hz的音调应该继续播放，但实际上我什么也听不到了。在调试输出的最后一行，我看到了一条pulse pulsesink.c:528:gst_pulsering_stream_underflow_cb:<pulseaudio_output> Got underflow的错误信息。我不知道接下来该尝试什么。

以下是完整的源代码：

#!/usr/bin/python
# On-the-go source removal doesn't work this way with GStreamer. Why?

import gobject;
gobject.threads_init()
import gst;

if __name__ == "__main__":
    pipe = gst.Pipeline("mypipe")

    adder = gst.element_factory_make("adder","audiomixer")
    pipe.add(adder)

    buzzer = gst.element_factory_make("audiotestsrc","buzzer")
    buzzer.set_property("freq",1000)
    pipe.add(buzzer)

    pulse = gst.element_factory_make("pulsesink", "pulseaudio_output")
    pipe.add(pulse)

    buzzer.link(adder)
    adder.link(pulse)
    pipe.set_state(gst.STATE_PLAYING)

    raw_input("1kHz test sound. Press <ENTER> to continue.")

    buzzer2=gst.element_factory_make("audiotestsrc","buzzer2")
    buzzer2.set_property("freq",500)

    pipe.add(buzzer2)
    buzzer2.link(adder)
    pipe.set_state(gst.STATE_PLAYING)

    raw_input("1kHz + 500Hz test sound playing simoultenously. Press <ENTER> to continue.")

    buzzer.unlink(adder)
    pipe.set_state(gst.STATE_PLAYING)

    raw_input("Only 500Hz test sound. Press <ENTER> to stop.")

我自己找到了解决办法。我需要使用带有Adder的请求端口，并利用GStreamer的端口阻塞功能。

下面是带有一些说明的工作源代码：

#!/usr/bin/python

import gobject;
gobject.threads_init()
import gst;

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # First create our pipeline
    pipe = gst.Pipeline("mypipe")

    # Create a software mixer with "Adder"
    adder = gst.element_factory_make("adder","audiomixer")
    pipe.add(adder)

    # Gather a request sink pad on the mixer
    sinkpad1=adder.get_request_pad("sink%d")

    # Create the first buzzer..
    buzzer1 = gst.element_factory_make("audiotestsrc","buzzer1")
    buzzer1.set_property("freq",1000)
    pipe.add(buzzer1)
    # .. and connect it's source pad to the previously gathered request pad
    buzzersrc1=buzzer1.get_pad("src")
    buzzersrc1.link(sinkpad1)

    # Add some output
    output = gst.element_factory_make("autoaudiosink", "audio_out")
    pipe.add(output)
    adder.link(output)

    # Start the playback
    pipe.set_state(gst.STATE_PLAYING)

    raw_input("1kHz test sound. Press <ENTER> to continue.")

    # Get an another request sink pad on the mixer
    sinkpad2=adder.get_request_pad("sink%d")

    # Create an another buzzer and connect it the same way
    buzzer2 = gst.element_factory_make("audiotestsrc","buzzer2")
    buzzer2.set_property("freq",500)
    pipe.add(buzzer2)

    buzzersrc2=buzzer2.get_pad("src")
    buzzersrc2.link(sinkpad2)

    # Start the second buzzer (other ways streaming stops because of starvation)
    buzzer2.set_state(gst.STATE_PLAYING)

    raw_input("1kHz + 500Hz test sound playing simoultenously. Press <ENTER> to continue.")

    # Before removing a source, we must use pad blocking to prevent state changes
    buzzersrc1.set_blocked(True)
    # Stop the first buzzer
    buzzer1.set_state(gst.STATE_NULL)
    # Unlink from the mixer
    buzzersrc1.unlink(sinkpad1)
    # Release the mixers first sink pad
    adder.release_request_pad(sinkpad1)
    # Because here none of the Adder's sink pads block, streaming continues

    raw_input("Only 500Hz test sound. Press <ENTER> to stop.")
