<p class=MsoNormal>Hi Matthias,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We’ve just looked through (together with Richard and
Jens) the changes made in Phonon 4.2 compared to Phonon 4.1 (shipped with Qt
4.4).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>First, the change in AudioOutputInterface breaks source
compat for apparently no really good reason. Adding the setOutputDevice with the
parameter being an objectDescription doesn’t really bring much over a int
since the backend is in complete control of that int. I don’t think we
can accept to break source compat for this reason alone. We should probably try
to minimize the number of versions of the same interface, for code readability’s
sake.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Then for capture, it seems someone uncommented the code for
audio capture device. It is in that case quite useless because one can’t
create such an object(AudioInput ?) for now. We suggest that we comment it
back. We should work on it for a future release and add video capture as well.
And this capture will really be useful only when it will be possible to stream
it back to a file.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Other than that, we’re pretty confident about
integrating the newer Phonon into Qt 4.5.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thierry<o:p></o:p></p>
