That is no bug, it's a feature. If the mplayer dies, freevo is still alive. If an integrated gst dies (e.g. memeory leak), Freevo dies, too. And for development: a bug in gst can corrupt my python memory and I will search a bug that is not mine. So no integration into the Freevo process. Even the kaa.xine Tack is building will be called as external app. > Another advantage would be easier support of freevo, breaking any > playback problems down to a single common denominator.

As for gst: do they support vidix for framebuffer or mgavid? I can't find a complete list on the side. Without that feature, gst is useless for me and I won't make anything a core player when I can't use it. Dischi -- Stress is when You wake up screaming and then realize You haven't slept at all
