Any replacement of UCI *has to* (this is not optional, it's a requirement) be merely a *protocol*, not a *lib*. If it's not a protocol, nobody will use it. That goes for whatever name you give to it, and so attaching the name of a media framework like xine or GStreamer to it will only give wrong expectations. Ronald -- Ronald Bultje <rb...@ro...> |
