Are you going to use GStreamer solely for this? If not then you might
like the code in gnome-cd for the non cdda methods. It currently works
on Solaris, FreeBSD and Linux, which I'm not sure if GStreamer has a
decent Solaris output method: ESD doesn't count as decent ;)

Hadess.

Hmm, have Monkey Media as a library that media apps are based on and
gnome-media as the collection of apps that use monkey media? Maybe. But
can monkey media get API stable by 2.2?
