I took a look at the Gnome thingie.. And the page 
http://www.gnome.org/projects/gst/distros.php
suggests SuSE 7.0 :(
I run 8.1.. and as far as i know the setup for 7.0 and 8.1 differs quite a 
bit.
And as far as i can see, the last update of the software was back in 
2002-08.24. Now THAT is way to old for me to play with..
If there hasnt been any progress since then what so ever...
But i will look at it further tho..
it MIGHT work..
