Been there done that. It's just a reproduction of much of what's on the
GStreamer website.

Considering how many out there say GStreamer is practically the greatest
thing since sliced bread, you'd figure there would be *some* official
user documentation somewhere.  I did find something in Yelp, but it's
just like what you find on various user web pages/blogs. It only lists
*one* example (like the one I listed).

I seem to recall reading a user suggestion on the the Ubuntu Wiki (this
was probably a year or so ago) that Ubuntu switch from totem-gstreamer
to totem-xine as it's more "user friendly".  An Ubuntu dev responded and
said that said that (to paraphrase) "No, Totem-gstreamer is now to the
point that this isn't necessary".

That was some time ago and I still disagree with that assessment.

Turning back to the GStreamer website, there are several mailing lists
listed there and naturally none of them are for users...

Perhaps I'll "crash" one and ask the same questions I've asked here. ;)
