In OOo times, there'd originally been efforts to allow building on Windows with MinGW. Later, in LO times, this has been shifted to an attempt of cross- compiling for Windows on Linux. That attempt can be considered abandoned, and the relevant code rotting. Due to this heritage, there are now three kinds of MinGW-specific code in LO: * Code from the original OOo native Windows effort that is no longer relevant for the LO cross-compilation effort, but has never been removed properly. * Code from the original OOo native Windows effort that is re-purposed for the LO cross-compilation effort. * Code that has been added specifially for the LO cross-compilation effort. All three kinds of code are removed. (An unrelated, remaining use of MinGW is for --enable-build-unowinreg, utilizing --with-mingw-cross-compiler, MINGWCXX, and MINGWSTRIP.)

Audio/Video media implementation. Provides per-platform implementations of multimedia functionality. Currently no stream API is provided, only a URI based one, so streaming has to be wrapped around it via temp files. Also provides (in source/framework/mediacontrol.cxx) an implementation of the graphical media playback control that appears in the toolbar / mediaobject bar when media is selected under the .uno:AVMediaToolBox item. == avmedia/gstreamer == The avmedia component is implementation of manager service defined in offapi/com/sun/star/media/. Radek has added implementation based on gstreamer so that we can add audio and video files into impress presentation on Linux with gstreamer. The implementation is pretty straightforward, sometimes it has problems when gstreamer installation is incomplete. In the beginning the media files were not embedded, Thorsten added support for that later. FUTURE work: it might be worthwhile to revamp the avmedia UI
