Original commit message from CVS: Fixed a bug in the typeloading. Fixes to various elements so that correct types are returned. Fixed flag collision with GtkObject. Elements can now suggest a thread. not sure if this is the right way to handle automatic thread creation. Autoplugging now works with multiple sinks and thread setup. No threads are created for intermediate elements yet, so MPEG may still be choppy.
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.
