           Summary: support single-image files
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.8.x
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)

   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Attached patches add an image tag (core), which can be used for single-image
quicktime files. The protocol is also supposed to be used by id3 tags
containing covers, but I didn't implement that since I don't care. There's also
a related Totem bug elsewhere.

The plugins patch is somewhat larger:
- The alsasink part is to make streams progress if the audio lags the video in
the beginning. This makes startup for some webstreams faster.
- The tag part is to fix some ununderstandable stupid code in playbin which
makes tag be read from the stream. I've once been told that this is for
performance, but it is logically wrong, since some elements, have no pads when
tags are being read and are thus not capable of emitting tags to playbin that
way.
- The qtdemux part implements GST_TAG_IMAGE for qtdemux.
- The xvimagesink part makes xvimagesink only open a xcontext in >=READY,
because else you can never open multiple totem (bvw) instances, even if none of
them *use* the xv port.
With those changes and the Totem patch, Totem-mozilla will view the
quicktime/single-image files.
