Gstreamer is a streaming media framework, based on graphs of filters which operate on media data. applications using this library can do anything from real-time sound processing to playing videos, and just about anything else media-related. its plugin-based architecture means that new data types or processing capabilities can be added simply by installing new plug-ins.

this package contains the gstreamer plugin for hybris, which provides a way to do hardware decode using both hybris and libstagefright from android.
