So what do you have against this fix ? And what other plan do you have to fix the fact that phonon does indeed need a backend and it simply won't work without one? That's the way it was designed. Even if we do manage to get everything to work properly it won't play any sound without a backend. Normally I'd have nothing against taking time to analyze the situation and find a fix but the fact is that FS#4423 has been open for almost 4 months now , with no fix , nothing. Can't we just fix it this way for now ? There's no reason a better fix can't be added at a later date. Also if there's something seriously wrong with this fix we'll have time to spot the problems before the stable release. > _______________________________________________ > Frugalware-devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel > _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list [email protected] http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
