Many libraries distributed by the Desktop team are only used by various GNOME applications shipped with GNOME. Since Sun only distributes 32-bit version of the GNOME desktop applications, we only ship 32-bit versions of libraries that are only used by the desktop. The Deskto team tends to only ship 64-bit versions of libraries that end-users are more likely to use. To be honest, I do not remember anybody asking for a 64-bit version of GStreamer before, or any bug reports about it. Brian
