Hi Justin,

You get the honor of having the first post to gstd!

build gstd. I was up and running in a matter of minutes. Gstd is
awesome!

Glad it worked so well for you.  Please let us know what information is
missing or if you generate any content you think would be helpful pass
it our way.

Diego and Maria and others will help get the caps feature working.

I am responding to comment on several fronts.  Several of our customers
struggled trying to incorporate the GStreamer calls into their
applications.  We came up with a simplified framework for one customer,
then the gstd light came on.

We have thought about gstd for nearly a year before being able to make
it real.  GStreamer Daemon was developed as part of a bigger deliverable
for Texas Instruments.  I want to thank TI for their support of the FOSS
community.  We are hopeful that more embedded products will use
GStreamer when they see how easy it is.  If you have it found it
already, you can see a QT GUI using gstd at
http://showoff.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=showoff/showoff;a=summary

We have thought a lot about Vala for a while as well.  It was a bit
risky to decide to use Vala, but the more we use it, the more amazed at
how it makes us more successful.  That said, Vala is still in
development.  I believe we found one Vala and/or binding defect and it
might be you found another.  We will work to get the feedback upstream
to the Vala team as needed.  gstd seemed like a good first use of Vala
for GStreamer.

it.

In many ways gstd is still in its infancy.  Please provide any and all
feedback - small or big.  We have several use models in mind and would
love to hear your ideas as well.

I am also looking for a CGI implementation showing how to interact with
gstd via a web interface.  If you have anything to share along that
front, pass it along.
