This talk aims to provide a high-level overview of interesting things that have happened in and around the GStreamer multimedia framework in the last year or so, especially in relation to the Linux desktop.

It is targetted at application developers, desktop users, and anyone with an interest in GStreamer or multimedia in general.

Topics touched will include new application features and higher-level API, such as the new device discovery and device probing API, OpenGL integration, Stereoscopic Video, the new MPEG-Ts section parsing library, and plans going forward.
