My knowledge of JNA is not strong and my time for learning
JNA/Panama is not enough so I'm not able to help Codelerity in this
currently.<br>
<br>
I know many people that uses GStreamer thanks to the Java bindings
for GStreamer, <br>
most of this people would never use GStreamer without the bindings,
<br>
this is why I think that bindings are as important as GStreamer by
itself.<br>

<div>It seems you maybe should support Codelerity if this is
something that is important to you?</div>

It could even be useful to brake slightly with the

I hope that GStreamer's devs will chime in with some ideas.<br>
