第 25章開発者の発言から

目を開けたら、裁判所の法廷にいた。陪審員席には畏れ多くも McIlroy 先生と Thompson 先生が座っており、Kernighan 先生の姿もあった。被告人席には、GStreamer 開発者たちが立っていた。罪状は、Unix 哲学のいくつかの法に違反し、各種 Unix システムに備わっているものとは異なるプロプライエタリなパイプラインを実行させることで、ユーザーを身動きのとれない状態にしたというものだった。かたわらで、Eric Raymond がこうつぶやくのが聞こえた。「この裁判のことを自分の本に追加しなくちゃ」

<__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 :)

<wingo> we just need to get rid of that mmap stuff

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

zaheerm: wtay: unfair u fixed the bug i was using as a feature!

* zaheerm wonders how he can break gstreamer today :)

ensonic: zaheerm, spider is always a good starting point

teuf: ok, things work much better when I don't write incredibly stupid and buggy code

thaytan: I find that too

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

* wingo holds head

taaz: you witchdoctors and your voodoo mpeg2 black magic...

omega_: um. I count three, no four different cults there <g>

ajmitch: hehe

omega_: witchdoctors, voodoo, black magic,

omega_: and mpeg

wtay: I shipped a few commerical products to >40000 people now but GStreamer is way more exciting...

* 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?

wtay: me tar, you rpm?

wtay: hehe, forgot "zan"

Omega: ?

wtay: me tar"zan", you ...

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 :-)

wtay: GStreamer; always at least one developer is awake...

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... ;-)

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 Congressmen! We have LARS!

wtay: I'm so sorry your honor

MPAA: Hrumph.
