I agree. But no one did that. I simply said that gstreamer is already (for
the purposes of this discussion) a part of GNOME. And, again, I asked what
required Real to have their own player in GNOME instead of just porting their
codecs to gstreamer?
Disclaimer applies, but:
There's more to Real than a codec -- we deliver a variety of services
for both ourselves and a variety of partners, eg Rhapsody music and
SuperPass video, to plug two of our own. We also have a business and
legal side which deals with licensing codecs, patents, content, etc.
This isn't about Real, though, it is about open source. You too can use
open source versions of our core technology -- Helix Producer and Helix
Server.
The Helix Client plugs into an entire open-source, cross-platform
content delivery infrastructure. The player is an important tip of an
iceburg.
The helix project, IMO, is about getting the open source community
involved in streaming media technologies
We're already involved, on many fronts, in many projects.
That came out wrong on my part. The open source community is doing great
work with streaming media, and I think helix is an exciting addition to
these efforts.
