How do you plan to do this? I'd imagine that if you do this directly in Mer, it's going to have a negative impact on Plasma Active for instance, as the policy framework is a fairly new introduction, and I doubt they have had time to look into using it yet. > I'm suggesting that playback is denied for unclassified streams or apps that > don't request audio resources or aren't otherwise known to resource policy > manager.

This sounds like a sensible decision for platforms where policy framework is used. Having audio/video appear to work whilst having side effects is not a good thing. > Known apps that do not work with the change: > - Music Player (qmlmusicplayer) It was using Phonon. The newly released version (in nemo:devel:apps) is using QtMultimediaKit, so that may have changed. Can you check again? BR, Robin
