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

[From: Martin Grimme]

Hi,

I don't think that Canola/atabake has a direct GStreamer backend. Only
indirect through osso-media-server. But it shouldn't be too hard to
add one to atabake.
Maybe the Canola guys can tell you more about this.


Regards,
Martin
