Hi Tommi,
I'd like to include "Ogg support via gstreamer plugin does not work as 
documented". (see my thread "summary of my ogg adventures from last 
week"). The problem is that if you follow the installation/configuration 
instructions from the maemo.org website 
(http://maemo.org/platform/docs/multimedia/getting_started.html), 
playing ogg files will just result in a 100% CPU usage freeze. Thanks

Sebastian.
-------------------------------

Update from Internettablettalk. It seems the gconf instructions on the 
above website for the osso_media_server are borked. N770-Freak writes:

"I've installed gstreamer with debug mode and evaluated the output.
The ogg file isn't handled like the gconf entry's default. The gconf 
entry gives the rule to demux,decode ogg files with tremor and to use 
the dsppcmsink. [application/ogg,tremor,dsppcmsink]
But the osso-media-server grabs the ogg file and connects it to 
"ivorbisfile" (it doesn't even load the dsppcmsink).

So I have tried to manipulate other gconf entries that belong to the
osso-media-server but with no success. Theoretically it should be 
possible to disable/break mp3 playback (for example) with a broken x-id3 
entry in the gconf?! But every manipulation of the gconf seems to have 
no effect to the osso-media-server!

Has someone more experience with the gconf (and perhaps the 
osso-media-server)???"
