Admittedly, you still need some backend installed. But you need that anyway to play sounds in the first place.Makes me wonder; if we want to have sound; we depend on xine or gstreamer,right? I mean; depend as in a packaging manner. No sound without installing some multimedia backend.On that note; doesn't it make sense to tell people they need kdemultimedia to have some sound? Assuming that kdemultimedia will actually pull in abackend automatically (again, thinking packaging dependencies here).Alternatively; (thinking a bit more long term now) someone should write a applet we can ship in kdebase which only depends on phonon and is capable of muting and altering main volume via phonon. Which then naturally doesnot depend on any backend. Just to point out that moving kmix to kdebase is by far not the only solution to this also not exactly black&white problem ;)
Except that kdebase already includes the xine backend so that you don't need to pull in another module to get sound.
