I'm not the creator of lgob; I just read the gstreamer docs + the lgob
gstreamer example.
I ran into problems with the playbin2 interface; the message passing
would make a callback into lua code at a random time and corrupt the
lua state.

I did look into lgi; but the lack of gobject-introspection packages in
my distro at the time stopped me....


I'm looking at ffmpeg+openal now; as its the least error prone
approach (I think): I tell it to decode a file for me; then I buffer
the file manually to the sound card myself.
You could easily insert any effect engine in the pipeline....
