I had mentioned a progress towards the resesarch on MIDI support and FireWire 800 support in which several Sun software engineers are researching those areas. I work in a city filled with musicians and artists so creative minds wander the streets in quest of the hottest in multimedia.
JDS Nevada 76 is the best GNOME desktop on Solaris - period. We need more desktop users using GNOME 2.20.x and working on multimedia issues they are facing. Can they watch a DVD or playback popular recorded media files easily? Does Totem fill certain needs or missing important codecs?? Rhythmbox fully functional?? RealPlayer... speaking of RealPlayer.... "RealPlayer Recommended System Requirements 1 GHz processor or greater (supports simultaneous record/playback features) 512 MB - 1GB of RAM High-speed internet connection (audio/video) Full Duplex sound card and speakers CD and DVD writer (for CD and DVD writing features) DVD player and DVD playback software (for DVD playback) 4+ GB available disk space for saving media, and for creating CDs or DVDs ---------------- Windows Media Player 10 or later QuickTime 6.4 or later Adobe Flash player 9 If using Screen-Reader software: JAWS (v4.02 or greater recommended) or Window-Eyes (v4.21 or greater)" ---------------------- Now I sectioned off a few things mentioned under RealPlayer requirements. Windows Media 10 codecs, QuickTime 6.4 and above (current QuickTime 7), and Adobe Flash Player 9. Then, screen reader software? So, even though we are looking at multimedia in the music sense... we are hit with needing codecs from various sources which still may be lacking (or just having older versions) within Solaris at this time.
