Dear Sebastian,

you are right, I don't have exclusive access to the resources required 
by the gst-omx plugin on my tablet.

However, the androidmedia plugin did its job really well! The H.264 
stream is playing smoothly without glitches and also energy consumption 
is acceptable.

Thank you very much for your advise!

Christian
