As well as being a cool piece of software, GStreamer is a lively project, with developers from around the globe very actively contributing. We often hang out on the #gstreamer IRC channel on irc.freenode.net: the following are a selection of amusing[1] quotes from our conversations.
<wingo> we just need to get rid of that mmap stuff
<wingo> i think gnomevfssrc is faster for files even

thomas: jrb, somehow his screenshotsrc grabs whatever X is showing and makes it available as a stream of frames
jrb: thomas: so, is the point that the screenshooter takes a video? but won't the dialog be in the video? oh, nevermind. I'll just send mail...
thomas: jrb, well, it would shoot first and ask questions later
zaheerm: wtay: unfair u fixed the bug i was using as a feature!
* zaheerm wonders how he can break gstreamer today :)
ensonic: zaheerm, spider is always a good starting point
teuf: ok, things work much better when I don't write incredibly stupid and buggy code
thaytan: I find that too
Uraeus: ah yes, the sleeping part, my mind is not multitasking so I was still thinking about exercise
dolphy: Uraeus: your mind is multitasking
dolphy: Uraeus: you just miss low latency patches
--- wingo-party is now known as wingo
* wingo holds head
taaz: you witchdoctors and your voodoo mpeg2 black magic...
omega_: um. I count three, no four different cults there <g>
ajmitch: hehe
omega_: witchdoctors, voodoo, black magic,
omega_: and mpeg
wtay: I shipped a few commerical products to >40000 people now but GStreamer is way more exciting...
* tool-man is a gstreamer groupie
Omega: did you run ldconfig? maybe it talks to init?
wtay: not sure, don't think so... I did run gstreamer-register though :-)
Omega: ah, that did it then ;-)
wtay: right
Omega: probably not, but in case GStreamer starts turning into an OS, someone please let me know?
wtay: me tar, you rpm?
wtay: hehe, forgot "zan"
Omega: ?
wtay: me tar"zan", you ...
Omega: that means probably building an agreggating, cache-massaging queue to shove N buffers across all at once, forcing cache transfer.
wtay: never done that before...
Omega: nope, but it's easy to do in gstreamer <g>
wtay: sure, I need to rewrite cp with gstreamer too, someday :-)
wtay: GStreamer; always at least one developer is awake...
wtay: we need to cut down the time to create an mp3 player down to seconds...
richardb: :)
Omega: I'm wanting to something more interesting soon, I did the "draw an mp3 player in 15sec" back in October '99.
wtay: by the time Omega gets his hands on the editor, you'll see a complete audio mixer in the editor :-)
richardb: Well, it clearly has the potential...
Omega: Working on it... ;-)
MPAA: We will sue you now, you have violated our IP rights!
wtay: hehehe
MPAA: How dare you laugh at us? We have lawyers! We have Congressmen! We have LARS!
wtay: I'm so sorry your honor
MPAA: Hrumph.
