Short term yes. But long term no. Trust me, have a look at the gstreamer architecture. I'm a Xine fan, i use it all the time, i tell other people to use it and i contributed a little to the project, and yes, currently seems to be the overall best player. But gstreamer is so much more than just a media player. It's like Xine + Enix (remember Enix? the now-dead twin of xine that was aiming to provide an encoding platform) plus a lot more. It's still in a pretty early stage, while Xine is a mature project, therefore it's normal that Xine is currently better for end-users. > And by the way, the totem interface is as ugly as sin. (Just had to get > that out of my system) Well, both xine and gstreamer allow you to use any arbitrary interface you like. You can even write your own. ;-) -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
