GStreamer is a library that allows the construction of graphs of
media-handling components, ranging from simple mp3 playback to complex
audio (mixing) and video (non-linear editing) processing.

Applications can take advantage of advances in codec and filter technology
transparently.  Developers can add new codecs and filters by writing a
simple plugin with a clean, generic interface.

This package provides the gnomevfs plugin for GStreamer, which allows file
access through the GNOME VFS abstraction layer.  This means that it can open
files using any of the methods supported by the GNOME VFS library.
