That isn't necessarily the case. Getting newer packages into the already-released 10.04 LTS is much heavier process-wise [to prevent regressions from release as much as possible]. You might want to raise this question on the kubuntu-devel mailing list (hosted on lists.ubuntu.com). My feeling is that it's feasible to stage some packages in a ppa for wider testing before asking for lucid-proposed, but I'm rather removed from the process these days due to additional work commitments. > Isn't it stupid to not get this very useful PA sw into the long term > release system, 10.4?

For Kubuntu proper, you'll want to contact the Kubuntu devs; see the mailing list mentioned previously. Note that because the packages are one-and-identical, you'll essentially be referred to the ubuntu-audio-dev Launchpad team as a point of contact. > BTW, are KUbuntu people working on this issue separate from Debian > people?

PA is already in 10.10. PA can be installed for Kubuntu 10.04 LTS, but one would need to configure KDE System Settings properly *and* use a fixed Phonon. > 2) ?Where (irc channel, mailing list, web page, wiki page) is the PA > into KUbuntu / DebianKDE being worked on? ?Ie, where does one look to > follow the progress, see projected timelines, see bugs, etc.? Bugs are tracked in Launchpad. HTH, -Dan
