[gst-devel] Plugin help/samba streaming

Out of curiosity, and as a question to the others here - what exactly is
wrong with filesrc/gnomevfssrc that it cannot be used for samba shares ?

I thought we were moving away from separate plugins for this sort of
thing.  If we want plugins based on access method, this probably should
be subclassed again, no ?
