Hey cool, I had this same question. I'd love to see 0.8 for 2.6, I believe that there is support of mixing elements (like intefacing to the driver mixing) in 0.8. This would make it so that the volume controls could support both OSS and ALSA in a single build (which would be cool). I'll also say that it would be nice if this was decided quickly, as there is much work to do if it does make it in. Volume control will pretty much have to be rewritten. --Ted On Mon, 2003-10-06 at 07:18, in7y118@public.uni-hamburg.de wrote: > Hi people, > I'm out for opinions again. > There's 2 questions I really want to get nailed down, because I want to steer > our development and Rhythmbox into the right direction. > > 1) Do we want GStreamer 0.8 released in time for Gnome 2.6? > This means: Can we add all the features to the core that are needed for > everything we want supported with that release?
