Threads, Time, and Transport: New Bling in GStreamer<br />
GStreamer hackers Andy Wingo and Wim Taymans take you<br />
on a guided meander through the new territories recently<br />
explored by the GStreamer multimedia framework. Topics<br />
covered include the problems of time, communication, and<br />
control. Vague enough for you? We'll keep it interesting.<br />
Andy Wingo<br />
Wim Taymans<br />
Wim, one of the GStreamer project co-founders, was the primary<br />
architect of the GStreamer 0.10 release series. He has extensive<br />
experience in how not to write threaded libraries, and some<br />
experience in how to do so correctly. A Belgian now living in Barcelona,<br />
Wim has been hacking GStreamer for more than 6 years now.<br />
Andy designed and implemented the network clocking algorithms<br />
in GStreamer 0.10. He tries to focus more on applications these<br />
days, however, hacking a GStreamer-based streaming server, Flumotion, during the day. Andy is<br />
from North Carolina and uses the word "y'all".<br />
Wim and Andy both work for Fluendo, a Barcelona-based GStreamer company.<br />
