Review request for KDE Software on Mac OS X, kdelibs, Phonon, and Solid.


Repository: kdelibs


Description (updated)
-------

While trying to bring a functional Multimedia kcm to OS X (see https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/122403/), I realised that Solid's IOKit backend doesn't currently support audio devices.

This RR outlines the current state of my draft attempt to provide that support. I'm handicapped by my lack of experience with both IOKit and Solid, and would thus appreciate a helping hand.

I'm currently at a stage where Solid returns a list representing the audio devices present in my system, but apparently not with the correct metadata for phononserver to consider them, despite the fact that I pretend all devices to be pluripotent (i.e. AUDIOCONTROL|AUDIOINPUT|AUDIOOUTPUT) :

```
kded(81671)/phonon (kded module) PhononServer::findDevices: Solid offers 5 audio devices
kded(81671)/phonon (kded module) PhononServer::findDevices: Solid offers 0 video devices
...
kded(81671)/phonon (kded module) PhononServer::findDevices: groups: ()
kded(81671)/phonon (kded module) PhononServer::findDevices: already found devices: QSet()
kded(81671)/phonon (kded module) PhononServer::findDevices: Audio Playback Devices: ()
kded(81671)/phonon (kded module) PhononServer::findDevices: Audio Capture Devices: ()
kded(81671)/phonon (kded module) PhononServer::findDevices: Video Capture Devices: ()
kded(81671)/kded4 *Kded::loadModule: Successfully loaded module "phononserver"
```

I'll add a more complete log as an attachment.
