But i can try to produce a plugin for it, but i don't know a lot of application (video) that use gstreamer. I can try to make a plugin for gstreamer, i'll put on my TODO. I try gstreamer with amarok to play sound using alsa, and this does't work (segfault). Gstreamer seems too big to be the default for every applications, think that you can put a webcam on a top appliance, with little memory, space disk, and NO XML :-) Luc - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
