Trolltech is pleased to announce that it is contributing backends for Phono=
n=20
for the three major platforms that it supports. The plugins are all license=
d=20
LGPL v2.1 or 3 and have been just committed to the KDE Subversion repositor=
y.=20

See the news annoucements:
http://trolltech.com/company/newsroom/announcements/press.2007-12-11.226373=
3764
http://dot.kde.org/1197535003

The Unix backend is based on gstreamer 0.10 and requires the=20
gstreamer-plugins-base package to be installed as well. The Mac plugin is=20
based on QuickTime 7 and CoreAudio (now we have good reason to nitpick=20
on "QT" and "Qt"). Finally, the Windows backend is based on DirectShow 9 an=
d=20
requires the DirectX SDK installed in order to build.

They will be maintained in the KDE's repository server by Trolltech=20
developers, who will be definitely available for discussion on future=20
developments and interact with the open source community. They'll be=20
developed as any other Open Source project, which means anyone interested i=
s=20
invited to join and contribute.

They're in kdebase/runtime/phonon. We have also written the CMakeLists.txt=
=20
files for KDE builds, but we have not extensively tested them. Please modif=
y=20
those where we failed to properly detect the system configuration.

We will also create a branch in Subversion that matches the latest version =
in=20
Qt. We will use that branch to do maintenance on patch-level releases of=20
Qt -- that is, no new features. We ask people not to commit there,=20
because doing so will not change the copy we have at Trolltech and will jus=
t=20
make our lives more difficult.

Instead, new development should happen in trunk and other branches. Our tea=
m=20
will pick up and merge bug fixes according to the Qt patch-level developmen=
t=20
guidelines.

The developer contacts are:
	gstreamer	Jens Bache-Wiig <jbache@trolltech.com>
	qt7 		Richard Moe Gustavsen <richardmg@trolltech.com>
	ds9		Thierry Bastian <thierry.bastian@trolltech.com>

PS: when replying, don't reply to all.
