That is what Freevo 2.0 is doing. Freevo 1.x is very complex with too
many dependencies and modules accessing some stuff from others. Like
you wrote before, some plugins access internal stuff of the mixer. To
avoid that we moved many parts out of Freevo into the kaa media
repository. Each module in there is easier to maintain and the
dependencies are clear.

I don't see much hope for Freevo 1.x to get an easy config app. It is
just because that we use python code as config file. To keep it
simple, we have kaa.config for 2.0 and it should be easy to write a
config gui for it.

Yes and no. As you wrote, you don't need audio recoding. I have the
CPU power, use digital audio out and getting non AC3/DTS 6 channel
output is a nice feature for me.
