Hi! Thanks for your reply again. I'd a look at both gstreamer and the link above... unfortunately, they seem to be too generic - my application intends to provide just an oscilloscope environment, with a file-based input. Resurrecting 'gscope' would be a large & challenging (for a newbie) task too... but I think it should be worth the effort!?
