Rhythmbox plugins have the ability to insert elements into the GStreamer playback pipeline. You can probably get enough information using the standard GStreamer 'level' and 'spectrum' elements. Your plugin would then handle messages emitted by these elements and use the information from those to update the device. I don't think we have any examples of plugins that do this currently. Alternatively, I think you could write a GStreamer sink plugin that took care of the whole process, which would make it easier to use this in other applications. _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
