We also don't know much about gstreamer-java (the same goes for the rest of the gstreamer developers too - I don't think gstreamer-java gets a lot of love). You should probably ask questions on the gst-devel mailing list - hopefully someone there will know a bit more.

I'm writing a radio application that I was wondering could use the dshow gstreamer source that I believe exists because the songbird folks have done that work for the gstreamer project. This application needs to get at capture devices on windows. These devices are TV Tuner PCI/USB that also have a FM tuner. The application is in Java and I would need to use gstreamer-java. This is all simple to do on Linux as v4l/v4l2 is simple and directshow is hard :) Of course since I don't use windows let alone develop on it, I'm biased. Thanks in advance to any help or advice.

Songbird really seems to be hitting its stride now. Nothing substantive to add, except that I’m very excited about this development. Songbird really seems to be hitting its stride now.

It will allow us to build all sorts of features, such as gapless playback, visualizations, transcoding, and CD ripping. We don't know exactly when we'll get those features implemented, but it's all on the horizon. We're looking forward to getting started on it! @Cris: GStreamer is going to help Songbird become the really robust, full-featured media player that we want it to be.

I'd love to see a post about what this move will mean for the product and the end user. better quality? Lower CPU usage? More supported formats? Love your work guys.

Why is it not done via about:config? Is this because it needs to be done before the application starts? Thanks :) I thought that it was to do it, but I wasn’t sure.
