Nope. I've no plan to compile muine against gstreamer 0.8, unless I get
a really high demand for it. I've discussed this with Jorn, and he said
the xine backend is much more stable and reliable. If for some reason
you've got something against xine, I'm open for a proposal to provide a
muine-gst package, which is linked against gstreamer 0.8. Even then, I
couldn't upload it into the main archive until gstreamer 0.8 gets in,
and IIRC its waiting in NEW. I'll continue to discuss this with Jorn, as
new versions of Muine come out, and see if he recommends using gstreamer
as the default backend. But for now, xine's the default, and thats what
I use.
