Or I should go to VLC (note this > is a GNU distro, so only freeeeeee :)) I think your choice should be between GStreamer and VLC. I'd test both to see which works best for you. VLC is still quite young but it's getting a lot of development of late. You'll probably get differing opinions. Mandriva and I think Fedora and SuSE, use GStreamer by default but not 100% certain. If you do go with GStreamer, there is a patch related to PA output recently committed that you should add in: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-good/commit/?id=8ca094795add18733faeb2a1f335bb33f40f9894 Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mageia Contributor [http://www.mageia.org/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
