This is GStreamer, a framework for streaming media. 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.

|
Developer note: When building from CVS sources, you will need to run
|
|
autogen.sh to generate the build system files.
|
|
|
|
GStreamer is cutting-edge stuff. To be a CVS developer, you need
|
|
cutting-edge tools.
|
|
|
|
ATM, most of us have at least these versions :
|
|
|
|
* autoconf 2.52 (NOT 2.52d)
|
|
* automake 1.5
|
|
* libtool 1.4
|
|
* pkg-config 0.8.0
|
|
|
|
autogen.sh will check for these versions and complain if you don't have
|
|
them.
