Aloha. At UDS we briefly discussed the future of our mixing app. Consensus was that KMix is not as awesome as it could/should be but generally everything else is also not terribly amazing either. Shortly after that I attended the KDEMM sprint in Randa, CH and here be what I know of the future of kmix:
a) PA support is being improved (by coling) b) general UI is being improved (by cesken) c) same goes for overall architecture which was already started last year d) SoundMenu spec/concept/design is going to get implemented I believe especially the last point is of general interest. Currently it looks a bit uggly [1] however working. Two plasma developers are going to turn it into a beauty once Christian finished the underlying technology. This will definitely not arrive in KDE 4.7 but hopefully 4.8. A backport seems like a dangerous idea considering the fact that KMix is running on every setup and it would be immature at any rate. That said, I am biased so all and every statement WRT KDEMM should be considered an upstream POV, meaning I might not be judging in the best interest of Kubuntu here :) [1] http://christian.esken.de/kmix/screenshots.html regards, Harald -- kubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-devel
