Is anyone actually using gstreamermm?

[Sarah Newman]

Hi Marcin,

Thank you for that information.

Sometimes a project is "done" and doesn't need new commits, so I didn't take the lack of recent commits as a 100% guarantee of it being unmaintained. 
But if there are no current maintainers who will fix it if it breaks, then I'd rather use the C API - I don't want to become a gstreamer maintainer 
myself right now.
