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

[From: Wang Baisheng]

Dear Martin,

Now I want to run Canola and use Gstreamer as atabake backend, but currently I 
only find the mplayer(mplayer_backend.py) and oms(oms_backend.py) backend for 
atabake in Canola source, So where can I found some Gstreamer backend for 
atabake ?

Thanks,
Baisheng
