KombuchaKipDoes anyone know what the point of the non-free Fluendo mp3 plugin for GStreamer is when there is already a plugin available?03:34
dscasselKombuchaKip: The "free" plugin violates patents. That's why it's in "ugly"04:44
KombuchaKipdscassel: I wonder if, politics aside, the Fluendo implementation is better for any of the codecs.04:45
dscasselBetter or not, it's licensed.04:46
* dscassel uses vorbis.04:46
KombuchaKipdscassel: I prefer theora / vorbis / speex / dirac etc, whenever I have a choice.04:48

dscasselHuhn.15:10
dscasselI'm not sure.15:10
txwikingerMagicFab: pong15:10
IdleOneonly reason I am on 10.10 is because I am not happy with unity15:11

MagicFabotherwise ano means something else in Spanish, look it up ;)15:16
IdleOnelol I know15:17
IdleOneI don't know how to do the accents15:17
IdleOnedscassel: ah, that explains it15:17

txwikingerdscassel: I use iweb rather than UW.. it has better bandwidth15:18
IdleOnetxwikinger: I don't type in Spanish often enough to bother :/me is lazy15:18
IdleOneI usually use savoirfaire but the mirror is slow sometimes15:18
txwikingerIdleOne: Well.. there are other languages benefiting from it too :015:18
IdleOnetxwikinger: true, but I don't normally type in French either.15:19
IdleOnemy usage of accents is few and far between15:19
txwikingerIdleOne: I thought you are in Quebec15:19
