fine news, does that mean that you plan to finish pass-through for the next 
release?
Would be a good decision IMHO since the follow up to 0.5 seems to be REALLY a 
lot of work, because I heard about a switch to kde 4.x, which will cause a 
longer period without a new release, right?

So, HDV (in 0.6 ?) seems to be the next big thing after the kde switch?
