gstreamer 0.10 backend? & more automation questions

[paulc2 at optonline.net]

Matt,Why not try helix?  Its very stable, many people use it, and it's actually actively maintained (by me).  Just a suggestion...Contrary to popular opinion, there is a gstreamer 0.10 maintainer, and it's also me...granted, it would be hard to tell if you're looking at my commits, but nonetheless it's not abandoned completely.  It is however borked in SVN right now - a change was made sometime in the summer in the gstreamer api that the engine doesnt handle.  It is however a new years resolution of mine to get it going again (alas, my server crashed this week so no chance of meeting your Christmas deadline though).I havent tried the yauap engine myself, but I suggest you join #amarok and ask about trying it - someone there will certainly be able to help.Regards,Paul----- Original Message -----From: Matt Price Date: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 11:23 pmSubject: Re: gstreamer 0.10 backend? & more automation questionsTo: Amarok Mailing List > On Tue, 2006-19-12 at 23:57 +0000, Colin Guthrie wrote:> > Matt Price wrote:> > > Hi,> > > > > > I'm running amarok 1.4.4 on ubuntu edgy, and have some > troubles withmy> > > sound card when using the xine engine.
