| 1. | Why is there always a gap although I have crossfading enabled? |
| Make sure you don't have gst-ffmpeg installed. Instead, install the gst-mad plugin. |
| 2. | I'm getting this error: "GStreamer-CRITICAL **: Factory for `adder' has no type.". How to fix? |
| Your GStreamer was built with Prelinking, which is not compatible with GStreamer. You must rebuild it without this option.
merlin-tc advises: “In addition, don't use any ldflags when building GStreamer.” |
| 3. | You receive an error "There is no element present to handle the file's mimetype audia/mp4" even though you have the correct gstreamer-faad plugin is installed. |
| To correctly play mp4 or m4a files with gstreamer, you must also have gstreamer-quicktime in addition to gstreamer-faad installed. |
| 4. | You receive an error "There is no element present to handle the stream's mimetype audio/mpeg" |
| You are trying to play an mp3 stream without the gstreamer-mad plugin installed. Install the gstreamer-mad plugin and run "gst-register" as root before restarting Amarok. |
| 5. | I have a second soundcard and I'm using ALSA. How do I make Amarok use it instead of the default? |
| In ->->, check the 'Device' checkbox and fill in the device. Typical this is 'hw:0' for the default soundcard, and 'hw:1' for the second soundcard. |
