Well, the issue still hasn't really been sorted out.

I think the point I made in my last comment, that applications shouldn't have
to know the internals of the sink element to set the location correct, is
fairly important. Especially if an app is using gst_element_make_from_uri() to
create it.


If we want to do the above, mandating that the filenames/URIs be in UTF-8 seems
the logical thing to do. However this means that GstFileSink needs to (on POSIX
systems) figure out what filesystem the filename is on, and find out what
encoding it uses for file names. I imagine that gnomevfs has some code we could
steal to do this.
