Hi,

This discussion went straight into details, but it made me wonder what is the correct steering from the top -- about directly accessing below Meego APIs. I think within Meego context, man shouldn't bypass Meego API. But, it would be nice to hear it from someone sitting on top of meego-architecture.

ok so this is a little more complex than we'd like due to reality ;-)

"Normal" applications are expected to just use the Qt Multimedia APIs to play media, and not talk to gstreamer directly. However, at the same time we realize that specialist type of applications may want to have more finegrained and detailed control than the Qt Multimedia API allows (which is somewhat of an abstraction after all), so we have to allow direct access to gstreamer as well, to not make really interesting applications impossible. But again, normal apps should use the Qt Multimedia APIs....... only if you do something completely out of the ordinary should one need to go deeper,
and at that point you accept that you go to a more "raw" interface.
