Hi all,
The next release of Wine will include a commit which changes our winegstreamer dshow module to use the modern gstreamer 1.0 API instead of the long-deprecated gstreamer 0.10 API. dshow is used by some games and applications, including Microsoft Office, to display videos and play audio. Wine's winegstreamer allows applications that use dshow to support a wide variety of media through gstreamer.
winegstreamer has been broken for a long time (see Bug 30557), and many distros disable the DLL when shipping Wine. If your distro provides 32-bit gstreamer libraries, then you can now re-enable winegstreamer and expect it to work.
Nice, will this be ported back to stable?
It depends if there is an interest from distributions. Anyway it isn't 1.8.1 material so it would get in earliest in 1.8.2.
