Original commit message from CVS: Add gst_element_request_compatible_pad and remove gst_element_request_pad. Implemented something reasonable for gst_element_request_compatible_pad, but havn't tested much: it won't work for tee because the pad templates have no caps, and negotiation is not yet written, so it is assumed that the tee pads can't connect to anything.
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.
