# Quotes from the Developers
|
|
|
|
As well as being a cool piece of software, GStreamer is a lively
|
|
project, with developers from around the globe very actively
|
|
contributing. We often hang out on the \#gstreamer IRC channel on
|
|
irc.oftc.net: the following are a selection of amusing\[1\] quotes
|
|
from our conversations.

|
When I opened my eyes I was in a court room. There were masters
|
|
McIlroy and Thompson sitting in the jury and master Kernighan too.
|
|
There were the GStreamer developers standing in the defendant's
|
|
place, accused of violating several laws of Unix philosophy and
|
|
customer lock-down via running on a proprietary pipeline, different
|
|
from that of the Unix systems. I heard Eric Raymond whispering "got
|
|
to add this case to my book.

*\<\_\_tim\>* Uraeus: amusing, isn't it?
|
|
|
|
*\<Uraeus\>* \_\_tim: I wrote that :)
|
|
|
|
*\<\_\_tim\>* Uraeus: of course you did; your refusal to surrender
|
|
to the oppressive regime of the third-person-singular-rule is so
|
|
unique in its persistence that it's hard to miss :)

*thomas*: jrb, somehow his screenshotsrc grabs whatever X is showing
|
|
and makes it available as a stream of frames
|
|
|
|
*jrb*: thomas: so, is the point that the screenshooter takes a
|
|
video? but won't the dialog be in the video? oh, nevermind. I'll
|
|
just send mail...
|
|
|
|
*thomas*: jrb, well, it would shoot first and ask questions later

*Omega:* did you run ldconfig? maybe it talks to init?
|
|
|
|
*wtay:* not sure, don't think so... I did run gstreamer-register
|
|
though :-)
|
|
|
|
*Omega:* ah, that did it then ;-)
|
|
|
|
*wtay:* right
|
|
|
|
*Omega:* probably not, but in case GStreamer starts turning into an
|
|
OS, someone please let me know?

|
*Omega:* that means probably building an agreggating,
|
|
cache-massaging queue to shove N buffers across all at once, forcing
|
|
cache transfer.
|
|
|
|
*wtay:* never done that before...
|
|
|
|
*Omega:* nope, but it's easy to do in gstreamer \<g\>
|
|
|
|
*wtay:* sure, I need to rewrite cp with gstreamer too, someday :-)

*Omega:* I'm wanting to something more interesting soon, I did the
|
|
"draw an mp3 player in 15sec" back in October '99.
|
|
|
|
*wtay:* by the time Omega gets his hands on the editor, you'll see a
|
|
complete audio mixer in the editor :-)
|
|
|
|
*richardb:* Well, it clearly has the potential...
|
|
|
|
*Omega:* Working on it... ;-)
