Much improvement has been made to audio in Nevada/OpenSolaris. Using GStreamer 0.10, you can buy WindowsMedia and MP3 audio decoder plugins from the Fluendo webstore: http://shop.fluendo.com/ The MP3 decoder plugin is no charge, by the way. Fluendo absorbs the cost. I am hoping that they will soon be able to provide MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and AC-3 for Solaris as well. Also, the addition of Songbird to the latest Nevada builds and the forthcoming OpenSolaris build is a big step forward, I think. > 3=.

You can get MP3 and WMA support legally from Fluendo. I understand Fluendo is going to deliver a DVD player for Linux and Solaris sometime in the near future, hopefully. Perhaps other 3rd parties might also get involved with this space. It would also be great if Sun made something available directly, but there is obviously a lot of licensing issues to work through. -- Brian _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
