Clementine was quite okayish with me.
But I had two issues with it:
1) Sometimes after resuming a song I paused before the audio playback
was strangely distorted
2) And a minor cosmetic one: The headings of vertical tabs have an "&"
at the beginning or somewhere in the middle. I believe this would
usually mark the key to press to activate the tab with an underline.
Also… I believe there is not much development either.
I build elisa from the debian package that is still in NEW queue. It
works, but its just not… complete. I bet Elisa will need a bit of time
to get ready.
While KDE has superb applications, a decent multimedia player as well as
a decent chat application for XMPP just isn't quite available yet. I
hope kaidan.im or an updated version of Kopete will do it. I loved the
approach with KDE Telepathy, but to me it appears to be abandoned by KDE
developers. But well, we had all of that in the other thread and dino-
im, while using GTK works good enough for now.
Best,
