gstreamer is cross-platform as long as you consider "cross-platform" to
mean both ubuntu and fedora :-)
(its getting better on macosx and windows, but I couldn't get either to
play xvid).
The two-year old, abandoned gst-java project doesn't use JNA, it uses a
rather large mess of hand-written JNI code. It is also targeted towards
gstreamer-0.8.
My project at http://code.google.com/p/gstreamer-java/ which I haven't
gotten around to actually doing a 0.1 release for, uses JNA, and
supports enough of gstreamer 0.10 to play audio/video on linux.
If you want something truly cross-platform just to play mp3 files, look
at the javazoom jlayer library.
Actually the mp3 player I wrote for myself uses the javazoom jlayer library and
has ever since Sun took mp3 support out of JMF. But I'm always looking for a
new way to do things and I got curious about gstreamer on window$ and that led
me to JNA. I believe you're mistaken on one point. When I tried to use
gst-java I started getting UnsatisfiedLinkErrors trying to load jnidispatch.dll,
so I think gst-java is using JNA. The source code does look like it is, anyway.
I tried using the Windows gstreamer packages and was never able to get JNA to
load the dll, by the way. Not sure why, but nothing I tried helped at all.
I'd be interested in trying your project, if you ever need someone to test it on
windows.
