There is a priority inversion issue with pre-releases version of
GStreamer/DSPLink TI gave me.  Once I worked around the issue, GStreamer
worked fine on DM6446 EVM.  On DM355, GStreamer never worked very well
for me.  For one thing, I play video/audio from NFS.  The dm9000 on the
DM355 EVM has really bad Ethernet performance (something like 25-28 Mbps
with netperf).  Not to mention the driver is copying Ethernet data with
CPU in the ISR which does not help interrupt latency.

There has been some EDMA updates from MVL 2.6.10 to MVL 2.6.18.  Audio
driver is of course completely redone.  However, the dm9000 and video
drivers are largely unchanged.
