Well, we should go ahead and see if we can get a conclusion to this. I 
personally would probably prefer a non-split repository. However I could 
certainly live with a split one, and to that end I have some ideas of how a 
split repo would be setup:

As a reminder, here's the directory layout we need to take care of:

    cmake/
    doc/
    dragonplayer/
    ffmpegthumbs/
    juk/
    kioslave/
        audiocd/
    kmix/
    kscd/
    libkcddb/
    libkcompactdisc/
    libkdemultimedia/
        kdemultimedia_export.h
    mplayerthumbs/
    strigi-analyzer/

The easy things are applications: JuK, KMix, Dragon Player.

On the other hand, KsCD and kio_audiocd are independent, and both use libkcddb 
and libkcompactdisc. So, I would think that those all go into a kdemultimedia-
compactdisc repository. (And by all means, feel free to suggest better names)

ffmpegthumbs and mplayerthumbs have similar functions (obvious from the name). 
Take those and add strigi-analyzer and we have metadata-gathering 
applications. So maybe clump those into kdemultimedia-filemetainfo ?

From there we can leave all the rest in a "kdemultimedia" base module. I'm not 
sure that git supports base modules that are not simply shells around 
submodules (i.e. modules that have files of their own *and* submodules). But 
if git doesn't support that, we can work around it with 
projects.xml+a_build_script and/or CMake magic.

Thoughts? Any other opinions from KDE Multimedia devs regarding whether to 
split (and if so, how?)
