           Summary: GstSparseFile as public API
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)

        ReportedBy: t.i.m at zen.co.uk

     GNOME version: ---


Why is GstSparseFile public API in libgstbase instead of an internal
implementation detail of the download buffer plugin?

Is it expected that other elements (that will not end up the core elements
plugin) will soon make use of this abstraction as well? Or applications?

We should not expose new API unless there's a good reason to make it public
IMHO. (Additionally, the API could use some review re. cross-platform aspects
and binding-friendliness.)
