[gst-devel] GStreamer and MIDI Support ?

[Jérôme Patey]

Hi,

    Well, I want to be able to play any kind of file with the same 
program, and I thought GStreamer would be able to do that. If I have a 
program for streams and a program for MIDI, it won't be very usefull !

    Do you know when is the support of MIDI meant to be added to GStreamer ?

    Thanks
