Right, and you convinced me :) What we need is a widget that is not based on totem's ;) We need something with a sane and clean API... which still has to be defined. If you want to work on that, great, we really need something like that :) But I don't think one can design a good API for that without having much experience with GStreamer and GTK.</blockquote><div> I' ve been programming Gtk  User Interfaces for one year and I'm very familirar with Gtk libs. Also, for 6 months I've been programming a multimedia player using Gstreamer for my Degree tesis project with metadata support, visualisation support(goom), multichanel audio support, subtitles support,snapshot support,etc..I think I can have a good multimedia player in 2 months as i have already made a good progress, i'll need one more week for the GUI design and one more month for  developing the wrappers for at least 4 programming languages (java,c#,phyton and c++) witch will be in the GSOC deadlines. I'm very motivated on this project and with your help I hope i'll made a good work.I'm not talking about writting the definitive gstreamer multimedia, as i'm not a GStreamer guru, but it will be a good start for a project that will promote the use of GStreamer on multimedia applications..
