I've looked at it and it is > actually pretty good, but ASFAIK it still hasn't got a gstreamer driver, or Wrong. It has a gstreamer driver, it has already been merged into gstreamer-plugins. There's much room for improvements in that driver, but it works basically. (What is missing: up to now it's only a sink, no source. The volume control interface is not implemented yet. The polypaudio audio clock and latency info is not yet exported to the pipeline.) It's good enough for Rhythmbox and the like. > proven that a synchronized gstreamer driver is even possible. What do you mean by "synchronized gstreamer driver"? If that means that latency and clock info is exported to the pipeline: yes that is possible. I wrote the Gstreamer driver and I investigated the gstreamer API well enough to say "yes, that is possible". In fact the xine and mplayer drivers have already been merged upstream; you get lip synchronous video playback over the network with both of them. It werks very well, and effectively it's the same case as with gstreamer.
