RELEASE: GStreamer Core and Plugins 1.0.7

The GStreamer project announces another bug-fix release for the new
API and ABI-stable 1.x series of the GStreamer multimedia framework.

The 1.x series is a stable series targeted at end users. It is not API
or ABI compatible with the 0.10.x series. It can, however, be installed
in parallel with the 0.10.x series and will not affect an existing
0.10.x installation.

Changes in gstreamer core since 1.0.6:

      * Add better support for static plugins

Bugs fixed in gstreamer core since 1.0.6:

      * 667305 : build: Add --enable-static-plugins configure argument
      * 696357 : Basesrc may send not-neg error when flushed
      * 696435 : gst_static_caps_get(GST_STATIC_CAPS_NONE) doesn't work properly
      * 697791 : gst-inspect: shows action signal return pointers as pointers

Changes in gst-plugins-base since 1.0.6:

      * streamsynchronizer is now a public element, useful in HLS pipelines for example

Bugs fixed in gst-plugins-base since 1.0.6:

      * 682171 : videoscale: assertion failed: (envelope ((x - (xi - 1)) * ex) == 0)
      * 688240 : streamsynchronizer: make element public
      * 696540 : Ring buffer released after parsing caps when setting caps
      * 696899 : oggdemux: non flushing segment seek makes buffers late
      * 697092 : rtspconnection: The " x-server-ip-address " header with wrong IP address is added to the GET response

Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science

We are researchers from different parts of the world and conducted a study on  
the world’s biggest bogus computer science conference WORLDCOMP 
( http://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 ) organized by Prof. Hamid Arabnia 
from University of Georgia, USA.

We submitted a fake paper to WORLDCOMP 2011 and again (the 
same paper with a modified title) to WORLDCOMP 2012. This paper 
had numerous fundamental mistakes. Sample statements from 
that paper include: 

(1). Binary logic is fuzzy logic and vice versa
(2). Pascal developed fuzzy logic
(3). Object oriented languages do not exhibit any polymorphism or inheritance
(4). TCP and IP are synonyms and are part of OSI model 
(5). Distributed systems deal with only one computer
(6). Laptop is an example for a super computer
(7). Operating system is an example for computer hardware

Also, our paper did not express any conceptual meaning.  However, it 
was accepted both the times without any modifications (and without 
any reviews) and we were invited to submit the final paper and a 
payment of $500+ fee to present the paper. We decided to use the 
fee for better purposes than making Prof. Hamid Arabnia (Chairman 
of WORLDCOMP) rich. After that, we received few reminders from 
WORLDCOMP to pay the fee but we never responded. 

We MUST say that you should look at the above website if you have any thoughts 
to submit a paper to WORLDCOMP.  DBLP and other indexing agencies 
have stopped indexing WORLDCOMP’s proceedings since 2011 due to its fakeness.

Trying to install Esound on Linux Zorin

Hi,
I have recently migrated to Linux Zorin from MS Windows. I am now using 
the Thunderbird email client, but can not get Thunderbird to output any 
sound. A Google search seem to indicate that I need to install 'Esound', 
but I can not get Esound to install. I have attached a copy of the 
Terminal log. What do I need to do to install Esound?

Regards,
