I know exactly why Richard wrote the instructions has he did,
he's
following the example instructions that come with the libtheora
package documentation.. but there has to be a way to do all this
inside the existing gstreamer framework.
For example the theoradec element in gstreamer should be able to take
the place of the mplayer step. I just don't know how to use gstreamer
pipelines well enough to write up sample instructions.
To be honest, I have no idea if mplayer is really required, I found
instructions using mplayer, and they worked. so I stopped worrying about it.
If you know of a program to mux vorbis and theora, then by all means,
that's the better thing to use.
