[maemo-developers] using gstreamer in a hildon control panel applet

[From: Brandt, Todd E]

Hi, I having a problem with hildon-control-panel and was wondering if
someone could help me out?

Basically, I have a sound applet that sets up the audio devices for the
system, and it's designed as a library which is pulled up by the
controlpanel process. It requires gstreamer to work, and the gstreamer
documentation tells me that I have to either call gst_init or
g_threat_init() *before* any other glib functions are called. But by the
time my execute function is called, it's too late.

Is there a way to initialize gstreamer from a hildon cp applet? Or do I
have to patch hildon-control-panel to call gst_init in its main
function?
