Re: AW: [Gnash-dev] from Hong Yu: Gnash/server/asobj/LoadVars.* need fix for running www.twango.com videos

[Hong Yu]

Thanks for your suggestion! On the PC, our newly installed 
libgstreamer-0.10 is about 600KB, and gstreamer-0.10 is about 3MB, and 
the two could further be stripped down in size for sure; and we have 
seen some platform like Maemo has optimized gstreamer size to about 1MB. 
Gstreamer-ffmpeg plugin on PC is big, and after its installation, 
gstreamer-0.10 becomes about 6MB totally. We would most probably 
consider gstreamer on embedded platform after Twango FLV issue resolved.

Best regards,

Hong Yu
