In any case what openSUSE will do is something must be cleared.
For what I understood Gnome is going to use PulseAudio yes or yes.
Upstream will port their apps to PulseAudio and openSUSE can't patch
all of them, correct?
GStreamer, xine... they can't have a default output for KDE and
another one for Gnome. KDE4 will use Phonon, that can use xine or
gstreamer like backend. Will KDE4 apps use PulseAudio when Phonon uses
gstreamer and ALSA directly when Phonon uses xine? In the first case
apps will have *two* per application volume controls (Phonon and
PulseAudio)?
Without a clear path this could be very confusing.


pd. is opensuse-packaging the best place for this?
