I would just like to add some points as seen from the NMM viewpoint:

- Gstreamer autoplugging: The upcoming release of NMM will provide a new 
GraphBuilder that automatically creates a flow graph from a given URL. 
Furthermore, it will also allow to create a distributed flow graph, e.g. 
having audio/video output on remote hosts, or, access remote data 
sources. We hope to finish the release this week.

- About the C++ bindings for Gstreamer: Where can I actually find these 
bindings? At the Gstreamer page it says: 'The bindings are still under 
development and not yet released.'

Also, I do not understand why people that are strictly against the 
abstract player interface that supports various backends (such as 
Gstreamer, NMM, xine, and so on) vote for the C++ bindings of Gstreamer 
to be used. Just imagine: say, you create one-to-one bindings first (by 
the way, a huge effort, I would say). Then, you decide to make these 
bindings, well, a little bit more 'high-level'. Then, again, a little 
bit more. Well, then finally you will be at the point where you 
're-invented' the abstract player interface (of course, you might want 
to add other abstract interfaces, too).

Have fun, Marco.
