Summary

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 well-maintained base plug-ins.
