Listened to it the other day. They really seemed to have a difficult time grokking what gstreamer actually is, and the guy that knew had trouble explaining it. :) But lugradio is always a hoot to listen to. > Imagine this, using gst-python we could have picture in picture, time > shifting thumbnail/miniview video while browsing freevo, we could > also /EASILY/ have cd/dvd ripping audio/video conversion.

But the main problem right now is that it simply lacks the maturity of Xine and mplayer. It's been steadily making good progress, but until it can play at least 80% of my video collection without crashing, it's not ready for a serious look. Of course, I could report all those bugs, and indeed I have reported a few, but I want to spend my hacking doing something that gives more immediate returns, which is why I'm presently writing python bindings for xine and developing a new canvas framework. The design I'm using will make it easy to plug in a new media framework like gstreamer. So when gst is more mature, I'll definitely have a close look. The 0.9 release might be the one. Cheers, Jason.
