to my knowledge, phonon is in need of a jack backend, as gstreamer, as

jack be the kde4 audio server, no. i was just thinking about
configuration control, not the audio streaming per se.
this d-bus interface seems a good idea
nevertheless,
DBUS seems to be very cool, yes.
and now that kde4 is almost on the brink, it
sounds logical to push it as
duct tape for phonon and jack, eh?
No, never. See the endless discussions on kde-multimedia and lau.
KDE needs a multimedia-server/-framework [*]. jack is _not_ what kde needs
because jack does neither video nor decoding of compressed formats.
And I really don't understand how you want to duct phonon and jack by dbus: Do
you want to sent audio data via dbus? Is dbus even capable of these
data-rates?
[*] And because relying on just one framework/server has proven to be a bad
thing, phonon is "just" an abstraction-layer between the apps wanting a
stable api and frontends supporting all the nifty things.
yes, right.
cheers.
