It was clearly indicated that nobody gives a damn about ease of use or extensibility when 2% performance is at stake, so it's just going to result in the exact same thing that's been done a million times before just with different names and quirks to worry about. Then someone started talking about an editor so I decided to see if anyone wanted to talk about that, and they seemed to. As far as I'm concerned the API discussion's already dead, everyone just decided to either reinvent the wheel the same shape as before or use an existing one and clean it up.

Nop Toby, they are different projects. They may merge but I'm not sure. 
(there was a confusion of mailing lists use but that's another problem)

Right now it seems that GStreamer *may* be the media API we're looking 
for. We just need to investigate in that way. And if it's close enough 
but not good enough we can extend it, modify it, fork it. But we need to 
have a deep look first.

Starting a new *large* project from scratch is a long and painful task. 
Especially when you have everyone saying you're doing something that 
already exists.
