Hi guys, I'm currently trying to start a KDE beat for next week's Fedora Weekly News, and was hoping I could get a little clearing up on the whole state of QtMultimedia in Qt 4.6. What I know: * Qt pulled Phonon into its API for the 4.4 release. * QtMobility is creating a second Multimedia API which will be lower level than Phonon which will be in Qt 4.6 under a QtMultimedia namespace. * Fedora-KDE will be meeting next week with the upstream (kde) developers regarding the future of Phonon in KDE. * Some Fedora-KDE members (Kevin, Sho_, Rex(?)) believe the API to be inferior and may end up becoming the main Multimedia API in Qt as Phonon becomes older and older (via IRC logs) What I don't know: * What does this mean for KDE for KDE now, KDE4.4 (which will be on Qt 4.6?) and the future of the project in general? * Will KDE apps begin using QtMultimedia (or a KDE derivative) over Phonon? * How do Fedora-KDE developers feel about this possible change and the new API in general? There is, as always, both sides to the issue and I want to capture both. Sorry if I sound ignorant on the subject (I am) and thanks for helping me out. This'll be in FWN next week under the (new) KDE beat if I can get a handle on this issue. Good night, Ryan -- Ryan Rix (623)-826-0051 Please refrain from mailing me directly in replies, I am subsribing via GMane NNTP. Thank you.
