When Totem (the GNOME media player) changed its backend from Xine to |
| 15 |
GStreamer (way back in 2004 or 2005), it took a while to fix all the |
| 16 |
regressions. But eventually it got really, really nice. And back then |
| 17 |
GStreamer was not as nice as it is now. Have a little faith in the |
| 18 |
devs and do your part (fill bugs, use the betas, follow upstream |
| 19 |
closely), and in the end everything sorta kinda maybe will work out. |

Sixteen years using Linux as my exclusive OS has taught me that's the |
| 22 |
only sane way to see things. The alternative is to get angry a lot and |
| 23 |
grow ulcers and maybe cancer. |
