</div>I am not certain, but I would think phonon-gstreamer could benefit.<br>
If changes are needed to phonon-gstreamer to make it work, that could<br>
be part of the project.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think the KDE's Phonon platform plugin (from kde-runtime/phonon) can make use of kio streams and allow Phonon applications to play things accessed via kio plugins. If phonon-gstreamer is used, it could benefit indirectly from such a gstreamer kio plugin (gvfs -> gstreamer kio plugin -> kio -> phonon platform plugin -> phonon-gstreamer -> play).</div>
<div><br></div><div>I guess phonon-vlc would benefit indirectly in this way, too.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In the case of phonon-gstreamer, the chain [gstreamer gvfs plugin -> phonon-gstreamer -> play] is shorter (this may already be possible, Trever knows). If this can't happen right now, I think the necessary work would be quite separate from the proposed gstreamer kio plugin.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As a sidenote, I'm getting confused about all these plugins everywhere (gst, kio, phonon backend, phonon platform plugin), but they certainly make magic happen.</div>
