Peter,

You've prodded at a couple of topics that have been on my mind lately  
as well.  I've added to the Feature Request under DAP devices that we  
support sending tracks during the transcode, so that the two  
operations run in parallel.  This would probably require some work on  
the individual DAP plugins as well as the DAP core, so it's not  
something that can happen overnight ;)

As for cacheing, I think someone already filed a bug on that one (or  
maybe I was talking to someone on irc about it).  It would be nice to  
be able to tell banshee to keep the cache under control.  I don't know  
if it does this already, but I have about a gig of cache'd files in my  
music library that I'm OK with, but I'm sure others would want that  
cache cleaned up (or better yet, a gconf key to control what banshee  
does).  I think this would be totally sweet!

Cheers,

Patrick
