Butbutbut, that's the fun part! :-P

I'll see if I can retrofit the old bouncy bars and whatnot at least,
shouldn't be too hard I think (I gave it some thought on the bus up
here). I miss the bouncy bars.

I'll try to get on IRC, and tell the guy in #vsxu that he can start
working on his stuff (he was pretty eager too :-P).

Thanks.


> Fix the bugs? :P

I can try :-P
But I know next to nothing about GStreamer (all I know I learned in
the last months), so it's mostly just shots in the dark.

Well, it's still kind of non-fun to try to develop on something that
doesn't work for yourself. But I'll at least try to fix what I have
already. It should work, probably some simple thing that I've
overlooked.



I've also attached a git commit that fixes the
Phonon::Xine::AudioDataOutput (I get audio data from my simpleplayer
and sound out of my speakers, at the same time!). I couldn't get git
to push now, but I thought it was nice to show some progress anyways
:-). I'm not completely finished with the xine stuff yet, as I want to
clean it up a bit, but at least it works.
