Define gapless. If you're talking about gap detection, I might be wrong 
but it seems outside of ClutterGst's scope (at least I don't know anyone 
interested/looking at this).

Sadly that's going to depend a lot on your drivers. As far as I know 
Gstreamer 1.0 (on which ClutterGst master depends) does not support 
hardware acceleration at the moment.
But yeah definitely interested in simpler hw accelerated playback.

Do you have bug reports about this? If that's Gstreamer crashes, we 
won't be able to do much about it...

You mean syncing 2 playbacks or 2 different files?

That's my plan.

I think overall the plan here is to allow more flexibility in 
manipulating video streams in a Clutter scene.
So obviously more animations/effects using whole or part of a video.
We don't really care that much about what's going on at the Gstreamer level.
