Hi all, I took some time this morning to rebase tdavenport's gst/dshow branch against current master and added my comments/reviews in the last commit. The branch can be found here : http://github.com/bilboed/wine/tree/tdaven-rebased I'm putting this out so that if any student is interested, he could carry on this work during GSOC. The current status is that using gstreamer as a backend for dshow has been proven to work within a very limited use-case. What remains: * Making it more efficient, flexible and lightweight (see all my comments) * Allowing it to automatically pick up whatever GStreamer element is available on the system and make it available through dshow. A good goal for example would be to make the various audio/video gstreamer sinks available through dshow (for example picking up the pulse sink), and the various audio/video decoders. Having it working with a native windows application (pick a player or an audio/video app using dshow) would be a must. Don't hesitate to ask questions/comments, Edward
