Re: [Gnash] gstreamer plugin

Hi Sergio,

This is an area we've been looking at in the 64 Studio project, due to 
the patent licensing problems of MP3 decoders, required by all fully 
functional Flash players of course. Gstreamer now has a legal MP3 
plug-in available, from the Fluendo website, and the source of that is 
available in Debian.

Unfortunately, if you use the Debian plugin I don't think it can be 
covered by Fluendo's patent licence, only the binary direct from Fluendo 
is, as far as I can tell (and I'm not a lawyer). Still, it's already a 
big improvement on the previous situation.

Cheers!

Daniel
