I stayed up late last night reading through the entire mailing list
archive and all I can say now is WOW. This is cool. I'm really
impresed as to what this framework can do.
Right now I have a lot of ideas and questions, and I'll try and save
them until I'm sure I know what I'm talking about.
I would like to add what I can to the project. Where can I start? My
personal inclination is to write end user apps, and my main itch is a
good video player with seek support. I was encouraged by this comment
(I think it was a cvs commit or something)

Almost as fast as the commercial mpeg player mtv, but with a much
better video quality :-)

So let's not sit on it. :)
Is gstreamer ready for a end user app? I realize gstreamer is "a
moving target" but I'm willing keep aiming. If this really isn't a good
idea point to where I should go.
Some one asked what kind of documentation would be good, I think top
down api documentation (gstreamer from an application writer point of
view. Check out the docs for libmpeg2 or quicktime4linux for examples)
would be great. I would like to do this along the way while writting
the video player.
Terminology Questions
=====================
What is scrubbing ? fast forward, playing backwards?
What's "UST-style nanoseconds"?
thanks,

You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.
