title: Quotes from the Developers
...
# Quotes from the Developers
As well as being a cool piece of software, GStreamer is a lively
project, with developers from around the globe very actively
contributing. We often hang out on the \#gstreamer IRC channel on
irc.freenode.net: the following are a selection of amusing\[1\] quotes
from our conversations.
- 6 Mar 2006
When I opened my eyes I was in a court room. There were masters
McIlroy and Thompson sitting in the jury and master Kernighan too.
There were the GStreamer developers standing in the defendant's
place, accused of violating several laws of Unix philosophy and
customer lock-down via running on a proprietary pipeline, different
from that of the Unix systems. I heard Eric Raymond whispering "got
to add this case to my book.

*\<\_\_tim\>* Uraeus: amusing, isn't it?
*\<Uraeus\>* \_\_tim: I wrote that :)
*\<\_\_tim\>* Uraeus: of course you did; your refusal to surrender
to the oppressive regime of the third-person-singular-rule is so
unique in its persistence that it's hard to miss :)
- 12 Sep 2005
*\<wingo\>* we just need to get rid of that mmap stuff
*\<wingo\>* i think gnomevfssrc is faster for files even
*\<BBB\>* wingo, no

*thomas*: jrb, somehow his screenshotsrc grabs whatever X is showing
and makes it available as a stream of frames
*jrb*: thomas: so, is the point that the screenshooter takes a
video? but won't the dialog be in the video? oh, nevermind. I'll
just send mail...
*thomas*: jrb, well, it would shoot first and ask questions later
- 2 Nov 2004
*zaheerm*: wtay: unfair u fixed the bug i was using as a feature\!

*ensonic*: zaheerm, spider is always a good starting point
- 14 Jun 2004
*teuf*: ok, things work much better when I don't write incredibly
stupid and buggy code
*thaytan*: I find that too
- 23 Nov 2003
*Uraeus*: ah yes, the sleeping part, my mind is not multitasking so
I was still thinking about exercise
*dolphy*: Uraeus: your mind is multitasking
*dolphy*: Uraeus: you just miss low latency patches

*omega\_:* and mpeg
- 16 Feb 2001

\* *tool-man* is a gstreamer groupie

*Omega:* did you run ldconfig? maybe it talks to init?
*wtay:* not sure, don't think so... I did run gstreamer-register
though :-)
*Omega:* ah, that did it then ;-)
*wtay:* right
*Omega:* probably not, but in case GStreamer starts turning into an
OS, someone please let me know?
- 9 Jan 2001
*wtay:* me tar, you rpm?
*wtay:* hehe, forgot "zan"
*Omega:* ?
*wtay:* me tar"zan", you ...
- 7 Jan 2001
*Omega:* that means probably building an agreggating,
cache-massaging queue to shove N buffers across all at once, forcing
cache transfer.
*wtay:* never done that before...
*Omega:* nope, but it's easy to do in gstreamer \<g\>
*wtay:* sure, I need to rewrite cp with gstreamer too, someday :-)
- 7 Jan 2001
*wtay:* GStreamer; always at least one developer is awake...
- 5/6 Jan 2001
*wtay:* we need to cut down the time to create an mp3 player down to
seconds...
*richardb:* :)
*Omega:* I'm wanting to something more interesting soon, I did the
"draw an mp3 player in 15sec" back in October '99.
*wtay:* by the time Omega gets his hands on the editor, you'll see a
complete audio mixer in the editor :-)
*richardb:* Well, it clearly has the potential...
*Omega:* Working on it... ;-)
- 28 Dec 2000
*MPAA:* We will sue you now, you have violated our IP rights\!
*wtay:* hehehe
*MPAA:* How dare you laugh at us? We have lawyers\! We have
