gstreamer -playing audio from a website.. buffering issue

Question

hi,

I am trying to play a sound file using :

gst-launch playbin uri="some URL" where, URL is the whole url of that file.

It plays this file, but there is buffering problem and I can't listen to most of the audio.

Is there a simple command line argument that will solve this buffering issue.

Example: use of appsrc to store a temporary buffer and then play it ... a code snippet would be appreciated!

note: I am on windows and the GStreamer installation only has some standard plugins. But it does have appsrc and appsink plugins.

thanks

Use gst-launch playbin2 uri="some URL" buffer-size=size check gst-inspect playbin2 for more properties of the playbin2 element.
