Does anyone know if SUSE plans to release a version of OpenOffice with GStreamer?
Here is some history from an OpenOffice list discussion.

Since wav files and other media play fine using OpenOffice under XP I think it would be most critical to get this functionality working under Linux. This is an important issue for those that wish to switch to Linux from Microsoft products.

i know that Debian and Fedora has a working copy of OO 2.2.x with GStreamer. so maybe you should check what they have done and add it here (main OO tree) or ask them to push it upstream ?
it solved allot of multimedia issues and it works beautifully :-)
Here is some more interesting information. ------- Additional comments from radekdoulik@openoffice.org Mon Jul 23 08:18:52 +0000 2007 ------- nadavkav: SUSE, Debian, Fedora etc. all use ooo-build, which includes my code. It just wasn't upstreamed yet. BTW, it was developed by Novell Inc. ;-) Since Novell instrumented the code to fix this my question is how do I get a copy of OpenOffice from SUSE that allows me to hear/play multimedia stuff included in powerpoint presentations? Will this be included in 10.3 ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
