What is it?
===========

GNOME Media is a set of GNOME multimedia tools.

 - gnome-volume-control: GStreamer-based volume control
 - gnome-sound-recorder: a simple audio recorder
 - gnome-audio-profiles: GStreamer-based audio encoding profiles
 - gstreamer-properties: GStreamer a/v input/output configuration

but not anymore GNOME-CD, CDDB-Slave, and VuMeter.

Changes since 2.22.0:

      * GNOME-cd, CDDB-slave-2, vumeter are all disabled by default
      starting from this release:

      - Rhythmbox, SoundJuicer or any other music players are better
        suited to play audio CDs.
      - If you use PulseAudio, we suggest you to use pavumeter
        instead of vumeter.

      * gnome-sound-recorder now has a slick new icon, and a record
        level indicator, which might have ui/usability improvements.

      * UTF-8 filename support improved in gnome-sound-recorder.

      * gnome-volume-control has dropped libgnomeui dependency, and
        improved themability: "Now we just need a pixel pusher to
        make us some nice tango icons for the remaining icons", Jaap
        said.

      * various code cleanups

What's cooking for next release (almost ready):

      * 516090, 404877: GIO port, use GtkRecentManager
      * 524364: GtkBuilder
      * 513612 and 422719: GNOME-Media relicensing

effort duplication.
