Re: Kaffeine 0.7.1 findings

[Hendrik Sattler <ubq7@stud.uni-karlsruhe.de>]

Hi,

I add the following items with new kaffeine.
I hesitate to report that upstream because there are quite some patches in the 
debian package:
* gstreamer cannot be used since it cannot find xvimagesink video driver
  (whatever that means), this is with x.org radeon driver and xine's xv works
  just fine
* if I change from engine gstreamer to engine xine, kaffeine crashes, this
  probably on the gstreamer unloading routine
* kaffeine cannot create the desktop icon because ~/Desktop is hardcoded but I
  move mine to a more FHS-conforming location (~/.kde/Desktop)

Bug reports will follow, once I configure reportbug right to use kmail.

KPlayer is NOT kaffeine

I see this, too. Very annoying.

It would probably help a LOT if you could handle OSS-like drivers with the 
alsa libs, means only using alsa framework without depending on the alsa 
drivers. The application could then forget about OSS completely.

PS: are there other ways to report bugs than with reportbug? Preferably 
something that pipes through kmail.
