Wait, wait, wait, this is just for KDE 3.4?
My objections have all been shattered. While at the same time I find it quite
stupid to introduce *yet another* API just for 3.4. So under those
conditions, I again don't see the point.
So, to summarize:
Advantages:
- A single API (like with KAudioPlayer which itself could be abstracted to do
this anyway)
Disadvantages:
- We'll get lazy and stick with this stuff for 4.0.
- Another API
- More stuff in kdelibs, one that's very weak
- Still won't make us actually audiosystem agnostic
- API changing once now for 3.4, and again 4.0
( The following is neither here nor there, please ignore it :)
Now to explain why I like nmm. When we do at last decide on the 3.4 we'll be
looking at the following things:
- api stability
It's likely the NMM team could be convinced to keep an ABI stable for the KDE
project
- functionality
their presentation had stuff that Works Right Now (And is both impressive and
much more than we can do right now)
- KDE similarity
It (more or less) uses KDE (Java)-style function names & it's C++.
