This suggests that the codec detection code belongs in GStreamer. As Rob pointed out, Codec Buddy would solve the problem of missing codecs and would provide a way for proprietary companies to collect their patent "tax". The same solution can/should be used in Gnash as in the GStreamer media players on the XO. Ubuntu uses a different codec installer, but I have concerns over it (the link also has some general background on the issue): http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg02459.html I hope this helps, Aaron -- FSF Associate Member: 5632 http://www.fsf.org _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
