[...] I just read that bug report and I don't see any pre-requisites, just submit your patches. Although I thought GStreamer developers prefer to review patches through bugzilla. > It would be much appreciated if you could help us to identify the main > blockers that absolutely must be taken care of before we can start > submitting patches and migrating our source code repository. Personally I would rather get rid of the DMAI/CE dependency and access dsp-link ioctls directly, just like gst-dsp does. Unnecessary layers are not nice.
