           Summary: QuickTime wrapper doesn't work on Win32
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-bad
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: msmith at xiph.org
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


The quicktime wrapper doesn't work on windows, for a variety of reasons:
 - Fails to compile due to gcc extensions
 - Uses OSX-only APIs for wrapping audio decoders
 - Crashes at runtime due to various bugs

The attached patch fixes these so that at least:
 - it compiles and runs
 - at least decoding AAC and MP3 works (others not yet tested)

Not proposing this for committing quite yet; I haven't had the chance to test
it again on OS X, for example, nor have I tested the video decoders. Just
filing it for others to take a look at, and to ensure I don't lose it.

Anyone interested in reviewing it: audiodecoders.c is sufficiently changed that
reading the diff is probably pointless. The other changes should be fine to
read as a diff.
