Hello,
I would like to raise a question on the desktop-side: belated migration
to
Gstreamer 1.0.
While it "just works", the old API has been deprecated for a while and
with
the coming modernization with MATE 1.14 this is time to think about it.
Several remarks from my reading and trials:
- Gstreamer 0.10 and 1.0 are not exclusive and can be installed
together so
smooth transition is possible if we want it.
- SunAudio plugin does not build against 1.0 as the entire mixer
interface
was dropped and not replaced.
- Gstreamer 1.0 may not be necessarily 32bit friendly out of the box in
the
future as compiled Gstreamer 1.0 + plugins show integer overflow on my
machine: how about moving to 64bit ?
- Enlightenment does not support 0.10 anymore.
The questions are:
- when should we schedule the migration to 1.0 ? before MATE or
together
with ?
- should this come with moving to 64bit for multimedia applications ?
I would see something like:
- update pulseaudio to 8.0,
- update gstreamer to 1.0,
- base the MATE testing on that.
Hi. I think we have to test updating gstreamer before looking at mate,
in this case we'll have less dependencies to rebuild.
However, integer overflow on 32-bit apps sounds terrible and is a
blocker, I think we'll have a dozen of issues when try
to rebuild all current multimedia apps to be 64-bit. Also note, that
such general framework as gstreamer should
be available for both archs.
