-This module only contains core functionality.  For actual media playback,
-you will need other modules.  GStreamer Plugins contains a huge set of
-additional plugins.  GStreamer FFmpeg contains a plugin based on the popular
-FFmpeg decoding library.  These modules need not have the same source version
-as the core, as long as they are in the 0.8.x series.
+The main focus of the 0.9 series is to make GStreamer threadsafe.
