Historic moment : MKV/MKA playback on Windows, using Gstreamer (Ixion) !!

Hi,

just out of curiosity i was testing Michal Benes latest
win32 mingw 
compile of gstreamer today, as a binary in his Ixion player
on 
http://gstreamer.xeris.cz , and using his DirectX sinks.

Here is what i could play fine (with almost 100% CPU, but
working ) :

MKA with Vorbis, MP3 ; not supported : AAC 5.1, FLAC,
Wavpack
MKV with MPEG4V2, DivX, XviD, h.264 (slow) ; not suported :
Realvideo

Unfortunately i had no other test files on my laptop, but
this is 
exciting !! Imagine a world without Microsoft DirectShow !!!
Think of a 
powerful, true x-platform media player based on Gstreamer !

Michal, congratulations. The player is still pretty
unstable, as you are 
certainly aware, but this is definitely a very good start !
Please keep 
us in the loop, should you require more alpha testing.

Regards

P.S. A readme in the ZIP, that all the packages have to be
in c:\program 
files\ would be nice also ;) .... i found it on the
homepage, but too 
late
