I wonder if that's why I've had absolutely zero luck getting gstreamer to work with kmplayer, despite having merged kmplayer with USE=gstreamer and having gstreamer and the various plugins as well. If gstreamer is dependent on nonexistent gconf settings, or settings set at merge that had long since moved out from under it, that would explain why it never worked for me. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
