Unlike Phonon, which is a multimedia framework with different backends
(one of which is GStreamer) QtGstreamer is a Qt binding for Gstreamer
and provides all the low level access you'd expect when using
GStreamer directly. I would say its a tad cumbersome to use, but you
get full control over everything and IMO better suited for embedded
systems.
