 We, KDE SIG, are considering which backend should be default for Phonon in

  meetings, we'd like to summarize what's the problem, some backends facts
  (please correct me, comment, add, etc.) and we'd like to hear comments
  from outer KDE SIG universe, from you, Fedora developers  users, too.

Just one comment: gapless playback. ;)

I've noticed from my testing of amorok - phonon-backend-gstreamer - 
pulseaudio that gapless playback doesn't work seamlessly. Especially 
noticeable with a live album where there is a stutter, click or pop between 
tracks when using the gstreamer backend, and that doesn't happen with the xine 
backend. Not quite sure where to point the finger, amarok or phonon-backend-
gstreamer, just thought I'd mention it.

Someone had to say it! libvdpau - it's a wrapper library, not the spawn of 
Satan or the end of the world! ;) I wonder how many people who voted for Mr 
Kofler to be appointed to FESCo realized quite how uncompromising he would be.
