The Full Story on GStreamer

Posted by michael on from the one-api-to-bind-them-all dept.

JigSaw writes "Gnome's Christian Schaller has written an intro/status document on GStreamer, the next generation multimedia development framework for Unix. Christian explains what it is, why it is important, its use in both the desktop and server side, its use on embedded Linux, Gnome and even KDE. He also discusses its current competition and the plans for the future."

    I mean, seriously, guys. How can you hope for any product recognition at all if it doesn't even have a name. GStreamer is not bad for Unix, after all they could have just called it "xyzzy" or "foo" or "ogg vorbis" or "xmms", but you gotta take product names seriously, otherwise the public will always perceive your products as pieces of shit hacked together in a haste. Which, to tell the truth, is what most of the stuff on freshmeat and sourceforge is.
