Sounds like an interesting project. Let me just check that I
understand it correctly.
libgnome is still using the old esound library for some sound related
tasks. The proposed change is to make it use GStreamer instead (like
the rest of gnome.) One problem is that esound offers a caching
facility that GStreamer at present does not provide, for which a
replacement will have to be provided.

Indeed. However, before we move this party to the desktop-devel list,
I still need to get my system into a state where I can actually work
on this. I suspect I'll have to get the CVS sources and work from
those. Of course, for testing purposes, it is highly desirable I can
actually build the code I'm working on. Am I correct in concluding
that I'll need to get and build the CVS sources? Also, are there any
known issues in doing this?
