[squeak-dev] GStreamer progress

I've mostly completed the GStreamer implementation for the OLPC and  
for 32bit linux machines.

The Squeak source code exists on http://www.squeaksource.com/GStreamer.html
The C source code for the GStreamer plugin was committed to the OLPC  
branch on http://www.squeakvm.org.

This software was not written for 64bit linux, but could of course be  
adapted, I have no plans to do so.
This software was not written for Windows, anyone who wants to port,  
feel free.

If you are using os-x you can install GStreamer (after much work) via  
MacPorts.

The GStreamer Morphic player that is installed has an OLPC viewpoint,  
16 bits and slow frame rate, but
it could be adapted for proper frame rates and enabled to adapt to  
many more feeds from
so called BAD GStreamer plugins aka MP3 etc, and of course allow feeds  
from the internet versus
assuming media exists only on the current file system.

Some work was done to enable squeak as a Gstreamer source for audio  
and video but that requires
more work by someone who really wants that feature.
