Hello, The Gstreamer framework is well supported on Solaris 8->10 and Solaris Express so the question really goes into the plugins. Proprietary plugins from Fluendo may come at a cost for support, maintenance, and licenses. This doesn't mean you can't have the full GStreamer framework with the "license free" plugins. Also, you have to look closely at what plugins are available for Solaris versus Linux. Check if the WMA 10 codecs are supported. Users may ask why is this needed on Solaris? Well, for those people who are into embedded servers/workstations as well as content creation. Also, cross platform development projects where Solaris is used on desktop/workstations. ~ Ken Mays @ EarthLink, Inc. ____________________________________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling?
