Re: [Muine] Xine vs. Gstreamer

"I have recently changed Muine's default backend from GStreamer to xine-
lib. I am a big fan of the whole GStreamer project and I intend to
switch back as soon as I think it is ready- however, I don't think it is
quite there yet. I hope better performance (especially when opening a
new stream), reliable seeking, and a more responsive, non-crackly pause
are on the agenda for GNOME 2.8."
