What is the specific requirement that Coherence has on FFmpeg? Please explain. Are you sure that this requirement can't be met via a non-FFmpeg solution. If coherence needs MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 support, or other non-free media support, then I would think that the Fluendo plugins would also work. I wouldn't think there would be any special relationship between coherence and GStreamer. Aside from the fact that some media programs like totem, rhythmbox and elisa pull data from UPnP servers and play them via a GStreamer pipeline. Brian
