I agree. > (there is also KDE-3.5.7 availble but no > open ticket yet) I thought about this today as well. And if Bruce doesn't have the time to update, I've already installed and logged about 1/3 of the KDE packages, so it wouldn't be hard to update.

Yeah, doesn't surprise me. I haven't built the KDE multimedia or akode yet in my current build. But I have all the dependencies installed, so it would be a snap. On my last build of Akode, I notice that the FFmpeg switch was not on by default (was experimental then too) and I did not include it in my build script. Which tells me that it probably didn't work then either (and I could have had the old pre0.4.9 version), so I'm not sure what is up. FFmpeg is so particular as their API changes. Packages are constantly trying to update their required version numbers (of SVN FFmpeg) to keep up. It is a losing battle. Note Dan's recent comment about a GStream dev that said they just don't offer external FFmpeg any longer. They build statically from sources in the tree (I hope that's what Dan meant). There perhaps is a patch out there that would work for the current FFmpeg and Akode. If not, we need to get Acode from SVN about the time of FFmpeg (20070606) and see what happens. We'll figure it out, but I knew going in there would be trouble. I know that the current Kb3 works on the current BLFS version of FFmpeg. I know that Xine Libs does not (Xine wants you to use internal static version anyway). It's hit and miss. The only reason I went ahead with the FFmpeg update is because it works with current MPlayer, and Kb3, and from my glance through the XML, it looked like only Transcode, Alsa-plugins, Xine and Akode also used FFmpeg. I didn't feel there was a way to satisfy all of them anyway, even if we stayed at that old version. Anyway, I hope this made sense, and you see what we have in front of us.
