It can be browsed online at http://wav-prg.git.sourceforge.
net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=wav-prg/gsttap;a=summary

>Is it a library, or a 
self-contained plugin? 

It is 3 plug-ins. 1 is self-contained, and 
contains reader and write for the TAP file format, and a frequency 
converter. The other 2 are called gsttapenc.so and gsttapdec.so, and 
depend on external libraries: respectively libtapencoder.so and 
libtapdecoder.so. Both these libraries are LGPL, and can be built from 
the source at http://sourceforge.net/projects/wav-prg/files/audiotap/1.
6/libtap-1.6-source.zip/download .

LGPL

I'll post the typefind patch. About the rest, it will be 
some work to add it to the gst-plugins-bad tree, as it is now in its 
own tree (created starting from gst-template).

Ogg: How to get new 
plug-ins into the repo?

Hello.

I've written some GStreamer plug-ins 
for an audio file format. It is far 
from mainstream: it is mainly of 
interest for retrocomputing fans. It is 
the TAP format, a lossy 
compressed audio format used to efficiently 
store tapes used by the 
Commodore computers in the 80s.

Despite it being obscure and with a 
limited audience, I wonder whether 
it was possible to add it to the 
repository. It is in a Git repo hosted 
by Sourceforge. Also, there is 
a patch to the typefind plugin: with 
that, Totem can play TAP files. 
The latter would be sent as unified diff.

Regards,
Fabrizio
