BIC Problem with KPlayObjectFactory resolved

[Matthias Welwarsky]

Hi,

few weeks ago, Simon Hausmann wrote in a mail to kde-core-devel that 
kplayobjectfactory contains changes binary incompatibel to KDE 3.0.

The patches I placed there to implement proper mimetype recognition for media 
streams were the cause of this incompatibility, and as they are especially 
ugly (enter_loop() hackery) and even cause crashes in konqueror I propose to 
remove them and implement an alternative interface, like such:

class KPlayObjectCreator : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
        KPlayObjectCreator(Arts::SoundServerV2 server);
        ~KPlayObjectCreator();

        bool create(const KURL& url, bool createBUS);
        bool create(const KURL& url, const QString &mimetype, bool createBUS);

signals:
        void playObjectCreated(KPlayObject* playObject);
};

The creator would work similar to KPlayObjectFactory, different only in that 
the create() method would not return the KPlayObject directly but emit 
playObjectCreated() once the mimetype of the stream is known.

Comments?

regards,
