GStreamer Qt Bindingss and Widget

Hi there,

We're trying to implement web cam support for msn (and for other protocols in 
the future). The project Farsight ( http://farsight.sf.net ) aims to provide 
a framework for audio/video conferencing in IM clients. Farsight project 
itself is using GStreamer multimedia framework.

As we will need some kind of GStreamer support, I've wrote some wrapper for 
basic GStreamer elements, and a widget which is ready to be used.

I think this GStreamer wrapper/widget work is not limited to kopete, and is 
generic purpose so it can be used by others too. So, I think it'd better be 
committed in some playground in trunk so that we can play with it.

I'm waiting for your suggestions on what we should do with this effort.

For the curious the current wrapper is being used like this;

	gst = new GstWidget( this, "gst_widget" );
	gst->setUri( "file:///home/engin/misc/americanidolmatthew.wmv" );
	gst->play();

This wrapper maps gobject signals/slots mechanism to Qt object's one, so that 
we can do such thins;

	gst = new GstWidget( this, "gst_widget" );
	gst->setUri( "file:///home/engin/misc/1054361719jagler1.mpeg" );
	gst->setLoop( false );
	gst->play();
	connect( gst, SIGNAL( signalEOS( EOS* ) ), this, SLOT( replay() ) );

void gstwidgettest::replay()
{
 	gst->stop();
	gst->play();
}
