Phonon

[Thierry Bastian]

Hello Jean-Baptiste,

I CCed phonon-backends at kde.org which is the mailing list for the phonon
backends.

First let me thank you for the interest you're showing in Phonon. We surely
all know VLC ;-).

To answer your question:
1. Yes the user will have the opportunity to choose the backend that's
loaded. At least that's the plan. For now the backend name is hard-coded.
But this is only temporary.
2. The licence of Phonon is LGPL, like the rest of the kdelibs.
3. For the "Qt part of Phonon", Matthias Kretz was the creator of Phonon but
we're now collaborating. If you have questions, you can ask about them on
the phonon-backends at kde.org list.


Best Regards,
Thierry

Hello,

I have seen your presentation about phonon on the web, and I had a few
questions.

We are thinking about creating a phonon backend based on VLC media
player, which is cross-platform.

Our main question is: will the users be able to choose the phonon
back-end they want on all the platforms supported by Qt ?

What will be the license of phonon and is there any restriction on the
license of the backend ?

Who is in charge of the Qt part of phonon ? Who can we speak to ?

Best Regards,
