GStreamer "Hottest Pick" 0.6.0 released[*]
GStreamer "Wild Rover" 0.6.2 released
The GStreamer team is happy to announce our first ABI stable release
series. The 0.6.x series of the GStreamer streaming-media framework.
The GStreamer team is proud to announce an updated version in the
ABI-stable 0.6.x series.
At this point in time GStreamer is fully functional for creating
audio-based applications, as shown by applications such as
gnome-sound-recorder, Rhythmbox and nautilus-media.
gnome-sound-recorder, [1]net-rhythmbox, [2]sound-juicer and
nautilus-media.
Video-based applications still have some issues at this point,
especially in the area of audio/video sync and seeking, but we plan on
solving those issues during the 0.6.x series.
The video part is known to be somewhat less functional than the audio
part, but applications such as [3]gst-player works very well, and a
port of [4]Totem is in progress in GNOME CVS.
We will also be releasing a development 0.7 release series, in which
we will work on such things as the remaining video issues and the
we will work on such things as the remaining issues, such as the
interactivity support which is needed for DVD menus and SWF (Flash).
This means developers working on apps needing these services can use
the 0.7 series for development and then enable 0.6 support as these
additions optionally get backported to 0.6 once they are stable and
work well.
Thread issues and GStreamer
Many of GStreamer's features relies heavily on threads. Unfortunately
everything is not rosy in the Linux world of threads. If you have a
glibc version installed compiled with i686 optimizations (which uses a
different codepath than standard i386 glibc), there is a good chance
you will experience thread-related crashes in gstreamer-based
applications. There are a few workarounds to this available.
* You can use an i386 glibc package instead. (Since this is the only
one shipping with Debian, debian users do not experience this
issue.)
* You can also try running the gstreamer-based applications using
the command-line option --gst-scheduler=opt, which invokes a newly
created scheduler that does not use threads. This scheduler is
very new however so you might encounter other issues when using
it. Please report issues to our bugzilla.
People using the first Red Hat beta called Phoebe are recommended to
update to glibc from Rawhide or from the second Phoebe release. This
solves all thread issues, thanks to the new NTPL thread library that
is included there.
The GStreamer applications we ship all check for both gstreamer-0.6,
gstreamer-libs-0.6 and gstreamer-play-0.6; if those aren't found the
0.7 version of those files are checked for. We suggest anyone making
