<p>Creating Qt after Gtk or vice-versa was also reinventing the wheel to a much larger extent - so is adding more and more OS features to Qt as has been going on for years.</p>
<p>libcanberra comes from "the other" GUI universe. My arguments against depending on it stand, I think, including the one about not increasing and probably reducing the number of dependencies.</p>
<p>Improving QtMultimedia with useful features (as far as that's even necessary!) may be reinventing the wheel but will have benefits for much more than just KNotifications (because, you know, *useful*).</p>
<p>I'd love to look into using QAudioOutput (esp. if someone a bit more familiar with audio programming is willing to provide guidance), but after summer. (Thinking beyond the issue at hand: phonon works just fine, but its backends have been bothering me for a while and a QtMultiMedia backend could be an interesting idea to investigate as an easier cross-platform option.)</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R289 KNotifications</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D14397">https://phabricator.kde.org/D14397</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>broulik, Frameworks, dfaure, davidedmundson, sitter, drosca, kfunk, rjvbb<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>ngraham, nicolasfella, kde-frameworks-devel, michaelh, bruns<br /></div>
