“GStreamer is mostly known as a back-end for media players like
Totem and Rhythmbox. Besides that, it is used as a foundation for
content creation tools like Jokosher, Buzztard, Marlin, and
PiTiVi.“Recent changes make the framework more useful for creative
media processing. GStreamer-0.10.12.1 (cvs) got latency handling.
This allows realtime effects on live sources (alsasrc ! effects !
alsasink). Also, lots of work went into flexible data format
support [int (8/16/32 bit) and float (32/64 bit)] in audio
processing effects. Finally, the new jacksrc provides a bridge
between the desktop applications and the professional Linux Audio
world. Using the jackd daemon allows routing audio signals between
applications…”
