With Tim's bindings so is GStreamer :)

Well it's true. But gstreamer is very well written and Tim's KDE 
bindings already kick major ass. The GStreamer guys expressed many, 
many times over that will do anything we want to help us adopt 
GStreamer in KDE.
It's a fairly mature framework, with capabilities exceeding anything we 
have. I think that GStreamer and Tim's bindings are the way to go.
