req: documentation for unfreeze phase discussions about gstreamer vs xine

Jelle de Jong
Hello everybody,

I have a request for the gstreamer developers.

There have been a lot of discussion about the switchings of applications
from a xine-lib backends to a gstreamer backend.

I would really like a good document with information about the
differences between gstreamer and xine.

In this documentation I would like to see a some structure that first
explains things in a non technical/noop way and then in a concrete
focused technical way and what does it mean for the end users and the
developers. Also what are the current problems and what is the
planning/process on there solutions.

Hope this is not a overwhelming question. I just want to help removing a
lot of confusion about gstreamer and xine.

Kind regards,

Jelle

That needs to be written by someone who knows both well. Most of s can  
only tell you what gstreamer is or is not.

What about prepparing a list of questions and ask both communities? I  
think a good media-framework comparission is something that many  
people would be interested in.

Tomorrow I will speak with somebody that has more knowledge about the
gstreamer project, I will ask him for more advice and how he thinks
about it. BTW all ideas are welcome, of coarse.
