Re: GStreamer plugin (C++)

[Dirk Van Haerenborgh <vhdirk gmail com>]

Hi,

That definitely sounds discouraging.
Now, 'm still kind of intrigued to write those plugins in C++, though
I guess I'll need to postpone that until I have more knowledge about
gstreamer in general. I'll stick with C for now.
Maybe in a few weeks I'll pick this up again :)

Thanks a lot,
-Dirk
