[Sugar-devel] Wanted: Record activity port to GStreamer 0.10

[James Cameron]

Agreed, typo in subject, 0.10 should be 1.0.

I don't think Sugar Labs should be terribly concerned with old
hardware inefficiencies for this activity.

Perhaps there should be an activity.info field for "suitable for use
on old hardware"?  ;-)
