Request for moving kdelibs/arts/knotify outside the arts directory

[Matthias Kretz]

Hi,

I guess you are talking about KDE4 and not KDE 3.5?

Anyway, the plan (my plan - and what we discussed on aKademy 04) is to have a 
new Multimedia API for KDE4. So, yes, knotify will need to be moved out of 
the arts dir and all the remaining aRts code can be removed. All multimedia 
(audio/video) API should go into the new kdemm libs. If you are interested in 
helping let me know and we can coordinate our efforts.
Would you be interested in implementing the multimedia API with native Windows 
code (I guess you'd be using DirectX)?

I've never heard of this plan before...

Into the backend implementation for kdemm.

The dcop/mcop bridge was never used AFAIK. KAudioPlayer uses knotify.
