| PackageDescription | GStreamer is a streaming-media framework, based on graphs of filters which
operate on media data. Applications using this library can do anything
from real-time sound processing to playing videos, and just about anything
else media-related. Its plugin-based architecture means that new data
types or processing capabilities can be added simply by installing new
plug-ins.
This package contains a set of plug-ins that aren't up to par compared
to the rest. They might be close to being good quality, but they're
missing something - be it a good code review, some documentation, a
set of tests, a real live maintainer, or some actual wide use. If the
blanks are filled in they might be upgraded to become part of either
gstreamer-plugins-good or gstreamer-plugins-ugly, depending on the
other factors. If the plug-ins break, you can't complain - instead,
you can fix the problem and send us a patch, or bribe someone into
fixing them for you. New contributors can start here for things to
work on.
This package is in the 'tainted' section as it violates some patents. |
