[gst-devel] Ixion player on Windows

[Michal Benes]

Hi,

	I do not know what this ws2_32 problem could be... May be, you have
different version of this .dll that I have.

	Theora will not work because I have not compiled it into the player.
Have you tried some .avi files? There is also gst-launch packed with
Ixion so You can mp3 pipe from the command line.

	The previous version of Ixion worked on Linux too (well, it is
originally a Linux programm) but the Linux part (x_overlay related) has
not be ported to 0.10 yet.	

	Michal
