+ README for GNOME sound converter application
+ ============================================
+
+A simple sound converter application for the GNOME environment. It reads
+anything the GStreamer library can read, and writes WAV, FLAC, MP3, and
+Ogg Vorbis files.
+
+This application is somewhat less fast than various command line tools.
+Not a whole lot, however, and not enough to make me worry about
+performance for the foreseeable future. If you want ultimate
+performance, the command line tools are always going to be preferable.
+
+ Supported audio formats
+ -----------------------
+
+All file formats that GStreamer can read from should now be supported
+(thanks to the wonderful "decodebin" element). The output formats are
+more restricted, however, since there is no "encodebin" element to
+magically convert to any format we might want.
+
+ Type Supported?
+
+ Ogg Vorbis yes
+ FLAC yes
+ Wave yes
+ MP3 yes
