Re: [orca-list] OT: looking for volunteers for the tintin sound pack

hi
Completely agree. Just to clarify to any one wondering, if I make 
changes, or anyone else, I will submit them upstream. I'm not making my 
own offshoot, since storm is now continuing development. I still need 
help though if anyone is willing. I'd like to add in some changes, like 
ambience support, a graphical config dialog, that kind of thing. If I'd 
wanted mush z, I'd be using mush z. I don't. I want something similar to 
but different to it. In particular, I love storm's background music 
implementation and the media player support, and would like to extend 
this to graphical media players like videos, rhythmbox, etc without 
opening up a graphical window. But again, it's knowing the code well 
enough to attempt it.
Thanks
Kendell clark
