So does that imply this approach is workable? In that case do we have anyone here familiar enough with gstreamer to suggest the elements I would need to add?
I would start with one to read and decode mp3 files to the pipeline passing along the proper caps. That would handle playback of mp3 files stored on the pw4.
I would also want one capable of decoding an mp3 or aac internet stream, possibly also dealing with a playlist file. There might be a single element that does this, as I can do this with mplayer or vlc and as you pointed out to me ffmpeg and sox could also do so.
How then do I install these additional elements and any additional required libraries to the pw4 and integrate them with the existing gstreamer? As this ultimately will wind up as a KUAL extension I guess that would be the logical place for them, but I would need guidance on the scripts to make it run. I can crib some from the mplayer scripts for handling playlists and such, but the pipelines would need to be built to run with gst-launch as well.
