Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee for Win32

[Aaron Bockover <abockover novell com>]

Right, the media engine is the very easy part for two reasons:

a) Windows provides a few engines to hook into (WMP and DirectX from
what I hear), and implementing this support for Banshee is pretty
trivial.

b) GStreamer should work just fine under Windows, also from what I hear,
so it's probably just a matter of making sure libbanshee compiles under
Windows. I don't think there are any platform specific things in
libbanshee.

Hardware support is what will need the most work, and will require lots
of Windows-specific knowledge.
