I'm not duplicating it: I'm just using gstreamer... there will only be a 
GstAppSrc/GstAppSink to interface with ptlib (perhaps I'll be able to 
use the ptlib code there, but I'm not sure). For now I'm only working on 
using gstreamer to handle device choices/changes and recording a 
session, I haven't made any attempt towards integrating with anything else.
