Is AIFF support really -bad?

Cedric Hombourger

Hi all,

Developing a commercial product using GStreamer for media playback, we have to support AIFF which is currently shipped with gstreamer-plugins-bad.

Can someone shed some light on why this plugin is currently belonging to -bad: is the code that bad? are there licensing issues? patent issues? Something missing (we could contribute?) for this plugin to go -good?

Your feedback will be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Cedric

I think it's a lack of detailed code review, documentation, and tests.
In practice, basic AIFF support seems to work fine.

Please start using it. If you encounter problems problem file bug
reports. Also if it works great for you, you could file a request to
move the plugin to gst-plugins-good. This is the check list:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/tree/docs/random/moving-plugins

It would be a nice contribution to go thru the list and help with the
missing pieces.
