--NDin8bjvE/0mNLFQ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi, Unless I'm reading wrong, he seems to be saying that X.Org is considering adoption of Gnome as the primary X desktop. Seems like that would be quite a blow for KDE, pr-wise. Is anyone in contact with these people? Thanks, Navin. --NDin8bjvE/0mNLFQ Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Description: Forwarded message from Leon Shiman Received: from pobox.cs.mcgill.ca (pobox.CS.McGill.CA [132.206.51.249]) by mailbox.openface.ca (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id h1NI0QT25473 for ; Sun, 23 Feb 2003 13:00:26 -0500 (EST) Received: from relay10.cs.mcgill.ca (relay10.CS.McGill.CA [132.206.3.88]) by pobox.cs.mcgill.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id NAA01003 for ; Sun, 23 Feb 2003 13:00:26 -0500 Received: from ktown.kde.org (kde.informatik.uni-kl.de [131.246.103.200]) by relay10.cs.mcgill.ca (Postfix) with SMTP id 61602536F09 for ; Sun, 23 Feb 2003 13:00:25 -0500 (EST) Received: (qmail 7753 invoked from network); 23 Feb 2003 18:00:09 -0000 Received: from localhost (HELO ktown.kde.org) (127.0.0.1) by localhost with SMTP; 23 Feb 2003 18:00:09 -0000 Delivered-To: kde-multimedia@mail.kde.org Received: (qmail 7338 invoked by uid 1055); 23 Feb 2003 17:58:54 -0000 Delivered-To: kde.org-kde-multimedia@kde.org Received: (qmail 7336 invoked from network); 23 Feb 2003 17:58:53 -0000 Received: from magic.shiman.com (199.103.167.18) by kde.informatik.uni-kl.de with SMTP; 23 Feb 2003 17:58:50 -0000 Received: from magic.shiman.com (magic.shiman.com [199.103.167.18]) by magic.shiman.com (8.11.6/8.11.6) with SMTP id h1NHwmu29250 for ; Sun, 23 Feb 2003 12:58:48 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <200302231758.h1NHwmu29250@magic.shiman.com> From: Leon Shiman Subject: Re: Media Options for KDE 4 To: kde-multimedia@kde.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-MD5: zxx1yRfhoulgiHL1NW6+tQ== X-Mailer: dtmail 1.3.0 @(#)CDE Version 1.4.2 SunOS 5.8 i86pc i386 X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.5 required=5.5 tests=SPAM_PHRASE_01_02 version=2.44 X-Spam-Level: Resent-Sender: kde-multimedia-admin@mail.kde.org Resent-From: kde-multimedia@mail.kde.org X-Mailing-List: Sender: kde-multimedia-admin@mail.kde.org Errors-To: kde-multimedia-admin@mail.kde.org X-BeenThere: kde-multimedia@mail.kde.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: kde-multimedia@mail.kde.org X-Reply-To: kde-multimedia@mail.kde.org List-Unsubscribe: , List-Id: For discussion of multimedia (sound/video) issues under KDE List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2003 12:58:48 -0500 (EST) Resent-Message-Id: <20030223180025.61602536F09@relay10.cs.mcgill.ca> Resent-Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2003 13:00:25 -0500 (EST) A word about MAS by a lurker from the MAS team. I feel that it is not really fair for me to enter this discussion without responding directly to many of your well-framed concerns. But I, like all of you, have too little time to do as I would prefer. MAS was developed and is currently targetted to be integrated into all Unix/Linux releases of Sun, IBM, Hp, sgi, and others asap. We have a native port of MAS to Windows. We are now finishing a high-level "soundserver" API, and we are defining a substrate which supports cross-platform accessibility requirements, in cooperation with the accessibility forces. Sun and X.Org have partially supported the MAS development as an X.Org project. The primary target was "network transparent" audio support for X11. The second target was to support Gnome, as their primary desktop, the third was to provide a common substrate for accessibility applications, since MAS efficiently manages integration, synchronization, and timing of media data streams, independently of data type. As Ettrich, Nord, and Stefan will confirm, we've been interesting in working with the KDE effort since we began on MAS. I will be in Copenhagen next week, giving two talks on MAS, one at DKUUG on Thursday, one at LinuxForum on Saturday. I'd be glad to have the chance to speak to any of you who are there. We would like very much to participate in a face-to-face discussion of the media issues with as many of you as possible, and funds permitting, will travel.
