What are consequences (the lack of freedom on the USA)

[Maynard Kuona]

Totem is nice. Very nice. I like it. But Gstreamer is not yet complete,
and Totem does lack some config options. It is coming up though. A year
ago, I wouldn't have touched it. But this stems from the fact that video
is simpler than audio to make a nice interface for. That is why totem,
Gstreamer player and Lumiere look very similar.

Then just try out totem, it's a nice GNOME2 media player with plenty of
functionalities and neat stuff like movie thumbnails in nautilus etc.
Really good integration, and the good news is that it has the potential
to
make it into the main distribution as it can also use gstreamer as a
backend (it uses xine-lib by default), which is completely modular,
already
shipped in Red Hat Linux, and to which additional codecs can easily be
added (think mp3, ffmpeg...).
