Greetings,<BR>
<BR>
I would like to ask about current status of phonon back-ends.<BR>
1) Which one of the back-ends will be "favorite" one. I heard that gstreamer is officially supported by QT.<BR>
On the other hand I can't bring the gstreamer back-end to work in KDE (Kubuntu 9.04, KDE 4.2.3) - does it mean it's broken ?<BR>
2) Are there any plans to add more effects to phonon. Especially I'm interested in adding an equalizer effect.<BR>
While it's currently reported by gstreamer back-end I'm unable to test it because gstreamer doesn't want to work in KDE.<BR>
On the other hand xine is working great while it suffers from missing equalizer effect (I mean xine phonon back-end, cause xine itself<BR>
have some equalizer, maybe not as good as gstreamer but it's better than nothing).<BR>
<BR>
I would like to join a phonon development in the scope of adding equalizer effect, but whatever my support is necessary or not depend<BR>
on the answer of above questions. Also as I'm new to phonon for sure I will appreciate some mentoring at the beginning.<BR>
<BR>
Wit best regards<BR>
