Hi Thomas,

yeah, perhaps :) GStreamer is pretty cool, I've looked through the API at
various time over the last year or two.

I spent a few months last year doing an audio canvas library which I plan
to use in Sweep; I found the existing stuff (including GStreamer) had a
different approach to what I needed at that level. But your non-linear
editing library could be useful, perhaps that would be a good thing to
collaborate on. Can you point me to a header file or docs about it?

Conrad.
