Gstreamer provides the means to play, stream, and convert nearly any type of media -- be it audio or video. gstreamer wraps the gstreamer library in a nice and perlish way, freeing the programmer from any memory management and object casting hassles.

gstreamer is a media processing framework with support for a wide variety of data sources, sinks, and formats through the use of dynamically loaded plugins. find out more about gstreamer at http://www.gstreamer.net.
