Hi Christian,

	good to hear from you :-)

I have forgotten to include this library to my binary distribution. It
should do no harm (but of course ogg/vorbis will not be played).

I had no time to try this. But are you sure that Ixion can find all
plugins if GST_PLUGIN_PATH and PATH are not set Ixion/plugins?

This is strange if You can run the first but not the second video test,
it would mean that ffmpegcolorspace plugin is not working. This plugin
is used in Ixion and it is quite important part of it (it converts
between various colorspaces), Ixion will not work without it. Please try
to run the test with --gst-debug-level=4 parameter and send me the
output. I have no idea what this could be, I never had problems with
ffmpegcolorspace.

Integrating audio and video test to GUI is a good idea. It could be
combined with output plugins preferences dialog. I am leavin for my two
weeks holiday now, but I will implement it when I return.

I think this is a great idea :-) It could bring many more people to
GStreamer community. We (here in Xeris) are also using GStreamer for our
project, we are using it for servers backend currently and now we are
working on the client part, the Linux build is quite good in the moment
but the Windows version still has problems.

	Regards
