I'd like to move the gstreamer backend out of kdereview and into either kdemultimedia or kdebase for KDE 4.1. After 4.1, I think phonon and its backends will have to release independently of KDE. The GStreamer backend for 4.1 has an important difference to the one in Qt4.4: It integrates correctly into the device preference settings - just like the phonon xine backend does already. I don't want to move any of the other backends as I don't work on those and can't test them. As I don't know of any KDE people working on them or anybody interested in getting them into a KDE 4.1 release I see no point in moving them to a KDE module. They just need some open repository until Phonon has found its right place. -- ________________________________________________________ Matthias Kretz (Germany) <>< http://Vir.homelinux.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
