Not in any way, shape, or form does a GSt dependency disqualify an app
from inclusion. The bar in this case, however, is a bit higher since
we're discussing the /default/ audio player (if indeed we choose to
separate audio and video players).

The route decided at last week's Xubuntu meeting was to choose gxine
initially for Edgy (since we already use xine-lib) instead of xfmedia
and to continue evaluating GSt-based apps.

If either Quod Libet or gmusicbrowser is to be chosen, a lot more
community input needs to be forthcoming. :-)

Thanks,
