I present you Pitfdll, which is a GStreamer plugin for Win32 DLL loading. I guess I changed mind - I don't see a working free software WMV9/QDM2 decoder coming up anytime soon, no matter how close the ffmpeg people claim to be or how hard Fluendo is trying to release binary-only plugins. So we'll have to come up with something else for the time being. The plugin reads WMV9, IV50 and QDM2.

Looks interesting. It installs and registers OK, although I'm not sure how well it works atm. Probably not ready for Portage yet, but worth keeping an eye on.

we're gonna wait till BBB puts it in a more permanent location.  He told me he will do that soon.

It has a sourceforge home now.

I'd rather have it named gst-plugins-pitfdll, this also needs cvs fixes to plugins.

I wonder if we should also dep on the plugins pack for the needed demuxers, without that it isn't much use.
