As Marcio already said, we could develop a media subsystem but this way we were going to again duplicate efforts, what i think IMHO is not a good thing. So we decided to use gstreamer that seems to be going to be used as default multimedia framework on linux desktops. And another reason is that we want to concentrate on VoIP stuff as the multimedia part we can easily handle using gstreamer. > I'm not sure that makes sense to me since on the n770 the DSPs > are sinks themselves - at least if this page: > > http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2005-September/001217.html You are correct afaik, but we will find a way to handle this. > is correct.

Yes, they do exist. Tnx again for the feedback If you want to discuss more about Tapioca you can join us at #tapioca-voip on freenode or use Tapioca ml (take a look at http://tapioca-voip.sf.net for more details) BR Andrunko _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
