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
Thanks for the update. I have also updated the gsoc proposal list at our wiki, to point at this mail. Hopefully someone will pick it up as this would be a really useful project in my opinion.
