[maemo-developers] Is osso-media-server open source?

[From: Martin Grimme]

Hi,

osso-media-server is a D-Bus service that comes preinstalled on the
tablets for playing media. Applications can control it via D-Bus, but
the source code is not available.

Its interface is not even public and applications using it won't work
on the next major Maemo release (Maemo 5). So Nokia discourages using
the osso-media-server interface by 3rd party applications. Maemo 5
will have another more versatile media server which will be open
source.

But osso-media-server is using GStreamer internally, which is open
source, so you might want to take a look there.


Regards,
Martin
