I've been thinking about the FLAC situation.
They tend to do a lot of incompatible releases. This is pretty annoying
for both us and people trying to compile gstreamer with it.
Here's my current stance on it :
* FLAC released a 1.0, and my guess is a lot of people will stick with
that for some time. Our plug-in should be able to build cleanly against
1.0
* FLAC also keeps releasing new versions. Our plug-in should also be able
to build cleanly against the latest *officially released* version.
This, IMO, doesn't include beta's.
Now, on how to do this - I think the code for the plug-in should be
ifdef'd for htese two cases. We had a version of the plug-in that worked
with flac 1.0, so this should be easy to do.
Thoughts ?
