Original commit message from CVS: Added code to force the gsttypes plugin to load before gstelements, by simply having gstelements.c request the plugin. Solves some dependency problems. This is the correct method of doing this for now, though I had a thought: Have a static list of hard dependencies that the plugin system is responsible for satisfying before even trying to load the plugin. Makes plugin design easier.
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.
