I don't know the modularity level of gstreamer, but it's true that modularity
can be overused within a project too ;-) I've only written that at least core
mplayer should be separated by command line and GUI stuffs. Of course further
modulatization can be done within the "core", like streaming, demuxing,
decoding ... but care should be taken not to overuse the whole concept to a
level, when compilation is almost impossible ;-) and performance is reduced
due to the heavy use of data transfer between layers or like ...
