Thank you Nicolas. Rigth now I am cramming to meet some deadlines at work. I
am interested in learning more about this subject.  I have a couple demos to
present next week. After that, I should have time to come back and read more
and start ramping on it.

I did get my project to work once I linked in the proper library... 
Does GStreamer have a package name/library name cheat sheet that have not
yet found?

Thanks!!!
Rick
