Hmm... I wonder if that's why I've had absolutely zero luck getting |
| 21 |
gstreamer to work with kmplayer, despite having merged kmplayer with |
| 22 |
USE=gstreamer and having gstreamer and the various plugins as well. |
| 23 |
If gstreamer is dependent on nonexistent gconf settings, or settings set |
| 24 |
at merge that had long since moved out from under it, that would explain |
| 25 |
why it never worked for me. |
