Re: App Naming Nazi (was: Re: Gstreamer)

[Robert Warning]

There seems to be some confusion over what gstreamer is. First 
gstreamer is not an application. It is a library for creating media 
applications. I did not write gstreamer, I'm planning on creating some 
language bindings to objc/gnustep for gstreamer. You could use 
gstreamer for creating a movie player, audio player, video editor or a 
streaming media server.

Gstreamer has the "G" in it because it is loosely affiliated with the 
gnome project. They are now trying to distance themselves from that 
image and become integrated into the kde project as well. All (I 
think) multimedia apps shipped with gnome 2.5 will use gstreamer for 
playback and editing.
