1.8 release series of your favourite cross-platform multimedia framework!

"Such ingratitude. After all the times I've saved your life."
A collection of plugins you'd want to have right next to you on the
battlefield. Shooting sharp and making no mistakes, these plugins have it
all: good looks, good code, and good licensing. Documented and dressed up
in tests. If you're looking for a role model to base your own plugin on,
here it is.
If you find a plot hole or a badly lip-synced line of code in them,
let us know - it is a matter of honour for us to ensure Blondie doesn't look
like he's been walking 100 miles through the desert without water.
This module contains a set of plugins that we consider to have good quality
code, correct functionality, our preferred license (LGPL for the plugin
code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library).
We believe distributors can safely ship these plugins.
People writing elements should base their code on these elements.
Other modules containing plugins are:
- gst-plugins-base
- contains a basic set of well-supported plugins
- gst-plugins-ugly
- contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for
distributors
- gst-plugins-bad
- contains a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the
rigorous quality testing we expect, or are still missing documentation
and/or unit tests
- gst-libav
- contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
