Hi Javier,

For GUI integration, you might want to take a look at primarily
gobject-based technologies, such as GTK, clutter or pigment.

You may want to take a look at the following:
* for gtk (the most widely used GUI framework for gstreamer apps like
Totem), check out the vumeter example
(./gst-python/examples/switch.py) in the git/cvs repos. Not a pure
video displaying example, but a starting point
* for clutter, check out [1] or [2] (decodebin-powered media player example)
* for pigment, check out [3]
