Gstreamer+Pulseaudio - video wont play - incompatibility?

[zdenekstepanek]

I have loaded subtitles, video and waveform. When I start of video playing, it does nothing. Sometimes it works, but most of time not. Sometimes only first frame was played, mostly not. Icon change to "pause" andsubtitles on time is shown, but video is still stopped. When i click to "pause", icon will change to "play" and that is all.

Weird is that it sometimes work, sometimes not. It can change in minutes...

System is fully actualised Arch Linux. Version of subtitleeditor is latest.

Problem is for sure in combination of Gstreamer and PulseAudio. It generate such errors:

pulse pulsesink.c:716:gst_pulsering_stream_overflow_cb: Got overflow

When I stop PulseAudio daemon and use ALSA in subtitleeditor, it works like a charm.

Facing the same issue on Debian Testing, subtitleeditor v0.54.0.

Haven't been able to get it to run with ALSA, though. If I disable PulseAudio with systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket, and try to use subtitleeditor -

1. If I select ALSA in preferences, I get the error - Media file could not be played. Could not open audio device for playback.
2. If I select autodetect in preferences, the video is played but I get no sound.

Propably you must to disable pulseaudio as first and then stop it.
