[Rhythmbox-devel] customizing the gstreamer pipeline for rhythmbox only

[David Mansfield <rb dm cobite com>]

Hi,

I have some files which exist on a slow network drive.  The drive is 
capable of providing the necessary bandwidth but has high latency.

To play 'skipfree' with gstreamer requires some custom tweaking of the 
pipeline.

However, for all other apps which use local files I don't want this 
extra queueing/buffering, so I'd prefer not to just go to 
gstreamer-properties and change it for all applications.

So I'd like to have rhythmbox use a customized gst pipeline.  Is this 
possible?  If not, would it be a feature for which a patch would be 
accepted? (I've noticed people complaining about skipping before - this 
could be partially towards a solution).

Thanks,
David
