Much better, thanks. :-)

Just a last little question on gb.media (I'm discovering GStreamer) : I'd  
like to get the tags of all the files in my music folder, and to store  
them into a compressed XML file, so that I won't have to fully rescan the  
folder each time I start my app.

The only way I found to retreive the tags is to have a second MediaPlayer  
in background, to set its URL property and to call its Pause() method.  
When I see that the player has reached the Pause state (with the State  
event), I stop the player and then repeat the process for the next file.

Do you know if there is a "cleaner" method (that doesn't open and close an  
audio stream for each file and make PulseAudio overloaded) ?

Thanks in advance (and for your work). :-)

Regards,
