No it doesn't; if all you want to do is play some movie or sound, the Qt
Mobility is more than plenty.
That completely misses the point; what would be a sound engineering
reason for using an extra abstraction, when the abstraction sits on yet
another abstraction perfectly capable to handle the 'all you want to do
is play some movie or sound' gracefully ? Abstractions are never free,
they cost resources and functionality, and as such should be avoided
when not needed. So, why are we needing an abstraction above GStreamer ?
same reason we needed a gst-clutter "abstraction" for Moblin; to make it
easier to display/play simple media inside an
application that uses the MeeGo apis.. and minimize the work an app
developer needs to do
