Hi, Actually there is a back-end based on ffmpeg for phonon : http://websvn.kde.org/branches/work/avkode/
It's the result of a last year summer of code. And about the choice of xine, it was the back-end which worked the better for the most people. It can be easily change in the future if someone come up with a better back-end. And as for phonon, well, most KDE-based multimedia players are allready having multiple backend support, so phonon is mostly share the infrastructure between them instead of reinventing the wheel over and over. -- Cyrille Berger _______________________________________________ kde-freebsd mailing list kde-freebsd@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd
