multifilesrc & splitfilesrc difference

[Paddy]

I'm wondering what the differences are between multifilesrc & splitfilesrc -
in particular when should one be used instead of the other. The information
available is a little sparse.

I'm asking as I'm playing back matroska video files (each ~2mins in length)
using a (0.10) pipeline that looks a bit like: 
splitfilesrc->demux->decode->imagesink
however these files are not always contiguous - there may be a 3hr block
followed by a 3hr gap followed by another 3hr block. splitfilesrc sees this
as one 6hr long file rather than 2 3hr files - I could put them in different
directories but that would be cumbersome & much pain. 

Could I use multifilesrc instead - it has start & stop indexes which would
get over this issue. I'd try this but I'm stuck at gst-plugins-good-0.10.30
on Fedora 16 atm trying to figure out how to get gst-plugins-good-0.10.31 (&
the multifile goodness it contains) on there without breaking everything. 

Cheers,

Paddy
