Original commit message from CVS: Added an autoplug example. This little program (30 relevant lines) is able to play MPEG1(system)/MPEG2(system)/AVI(DIVX)/Vorbis/AC3 and whatever codec you write. Separated the mp3 and mpeg1 types for better reuse.
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.
