Can gstreamer plugins be used outside of gstreamer ?

Hi,

maybe a bit OT, sorry, as Linux users wouldnt need to do that ( all they do is to install it on their box and enjoy ), but what is necessary to use a gstreamer plugin for decoding without gstreamer as underlying framework existing on a box or PC ?

Reason i am asking is the number of plugins somebody else was listing here in another thread ... quite impressive, isnt it !?!

We could maybe use a Vorbis plugin from VirtualDubMod for encoding audio into OGM/MCF/Matroska without the need to hardcode vorbis.dll, libogg.dll and libvorbis.dll into VdubMod

?

hmmm I can't say exactly if it is possible. But gstreamer is thougt as a DS /VfW like framework for linux to be standard. And as I have ISDN I was not able to test if it is usefull at all at the moment. I think I have to recompile it and need to redownload all that as source rpm.

If you implement the interface from the gstreamer side you should be able to utilise the gstreamer plugins in another program... Similar to a variety of programs out there that can interface with XMMS audio plugins.

Any ideas how big this interface is ?

I find gstreamer a very exciting and powerful project, and one of the things i am dreaming of was the possibility to port it to Windows and MacOS one day .. this would make it possible to use media applications on any of the 3 OS without major changes ( if at all ) ...
