Original commit message from CVS: Complete rewrite of the launcher. Now supports pretty arbitrary pipelines. Try '((fakesrc) ! identity ! (fakesink))' out. Doesn't seem to recognize pad names yet for some reason, so it goes with the first sink/src pad it finds in a given element. Other problems still remain, but the hard part is done with.
This is gnome-streamer, a framework for streaming media in GNOME. The fundamental design comes from the video pipeline at Oregon Graduate Institute, as well as some ideas from DirectMedia. It's based on plug-ins that will provide the various codec and other functionality. The interface hopefully is generic enough for various companies (ahem, Apple) to release binary codecs for Linux, until such time as they get a clue and release the source.
