[gst-devel] Ixion player on Windows

[Sébastien Moutte]

I've tried the new package, i'm still getting one warning from an entry 
point not found in ws2_32.dll but the player is launched after that.
But i can only read vorbis ogg file.
Ogg theora/vorbis or ogg theora doesn't work, nothing happens.
And i've tried mp3 but it crashes by reading to null pointer apparently.

I'll try to build it in debug mode with vs6 to see what happens.
Does it work already on others platforms ?
