Took a while to find any docs for it... in the doc directory of the src package. freemix is designed to do live showing switching of videos stored as file on the computer like a VJ. I don't know if it can connect to a gstream opened by another app or not. But it is not designed for it. It is only available as a src package right now. However, I tried looking up VJ in synaptic and that spit out "LiVES", already in the repos. In it's features page it says "Support for live firewire cameras and TV cards". I don't know that we should ship it by default, but extra sw yes.
