Segmentation fault when adding mfw_mp3encoder to running pipeline

[Sjoon]

In my app I need to record an alsasrc to mp3 files. When the user clicks a button, a new file should be created.

The problem is that I have a segmentation fault when I add an mfw_mp3encoder to my pipeline when it is running. When I replace the mfw_mp3encoder with an wavenc, everything works fine.

Is it possible that this is a bug in the mp3encoder of freescale?

When I debug the app, this is the gdb backtrace of the error:

Anyone?

I have no problem when using gst-launch to create the pipeline, because there the pipeline is set to playing when the mp3encoder is already added.

In my application, I have a tee on which mp3encoders are added on the fly when the pipeline is already playing.

I'm using the latest mm-codecs  (2.0.3) on an imx28.

My pipeline is as follows:

alsasrc ! tee ! queue ! fakesink

When a I start to record, I attach following to the tee:

queue ! "audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,width=16,height=16,channels=1" ! mfw_mp3encoder ! queue ! filesink

Everything works fine when I start to record before I set the pipeline to playing, but attaching the mp3 encoder when the pipeline is playing gives a segfault.

can you use gst-lauch to establish the pipeline and have a try "gst-launch alsasrc ! mfw_mp3encoder ! filesin location = out.mp3" or can you share your gst-launch pipeline for us to investigate?

BTW: what's the release version of your package and which platform are you using?
