And are you planning to release this gstreamer builds (for windows and OSX) as independent installable packages? Thanks, Andres hey guys,

A couple of questions: are you compiling the plugins to decode video files as well, or only those required for audio playback?

And are you planning to release this gstreamer builds (for windows and OSX) as independent installable packages?

Thanks,
Andres

Just a few questions: does Gstreamer have any advantages for Songbird's users (I'm not asking about your advantage -- it's obvious) over VLC? How will this affect download size / start-up time? Hey.

This includes Songbird :) @Matt - Sam is correct, a properly configured system will have gstreamer based applications (and all other applications) sending audio output to PulseAudio.

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that audio in Linux is a complete MESS. It seems like every week there's a new audio system being tauted as the "The One." And honestly, I'm completely ignorant of how all these systems work for or against each other. Currently Ubuntu is in the process of adopting PulseAudio. Does that serve to support Songbird's adoption of GStreamer, or is PulseAudio in opposition to Gstreamer? Also, can somebody (as briefly as possible) explain to me the advantage of using GStreamer over the existing VLC?

It's always a pain to explain different stories for the same piece of software to different people. This is much welcomed. I’m glad to see, that the unification across platforms is progressing.
