Indeed, which is why I made the remark - because I got a neither here nor 
there feeling from yours.  At least now you said what you think is 
important.

Ehrm, no, I don't, actually.  I try the code, I test it, and I help fix if 
I see issues I can fix.  For GStreamer, as well as other stuff.
The difference is I can because my box is pretty standard and the OS on it 
is free.  I do expect Sun to want it to work though since they made the 
decision to go with Gnome 2.2 ;)
