Since Opensolaris uses gstreamer for all the multimedia applications it
would be nice if gstreamer would be able to use XVEnc.
But i am a bit confused about what Xvenc really does:
I found a "Sun Ray Multimedia Enhancements - Technical Brief" which states:
XVEnc: An ActiveX control used to compress audio files
This is rather limited.

Ah okay, I read your e-mail as a whole as saying "there is at least 1
player that supports it". I would think there is some alternate
interface that could be plugged in to XvEnc or perhaps via gstreamer
though since I think most graphics cards in PCs know how to do some
video decoding. Nevertheless, Flash on UNIX doesn't use XVEnc or even
XVideo (there was an Adobe blog post awhile back as to why they didn't
use XVideo).
The "Sun Ray people" could help fix the problem by exposing the XVEnc
API, though I suspect that's not really in the hands of the engineers.
As it is currently a closed API, the only people that could
theoretically start using that interface on UNIX would be employees at
Sun who had access to both the API spec and worked on developing a
player as well. Either that or someone else will need to reverse
engineer the protocol.
