I am *extremely* hesitant to accept any gapless work in the existing

belong in this level of the media stack - at all.

This feature is alleged to land in playbin2 in GStreamer core. When it
is there, we can take advantage of it.

I totally agree, and while Rhythmbox took a different route, they ended up doing a lot of work to get it working and it's still a little buggy sometimes. :)

The reason I mentioned it now is that it appears that GSt 0.10.17 does have  playbin2, so I thought the proverbial gapless eagle had landed. (Did I really just say that?)
