Just wanted to share this with you, someone on #kde-devel discovered it:

I, for one, welcome our new Air Purifier overlords ;)

We amaroK developers are now also blogging here. The blog is basically both for amaroK/multimedia development and personal stuff, which we figure is too narrow in scope to post on kdevelopers.org.

I'm Happy,

..because it's finally working: Crossfading for amaroK's GStreamer-engine. Two weeks of deep hacking, no less, to get this beast stable and smooth. Now we have an implementation of a n-track crossfader design, with unlimited number of channels for mixing, and configurable transition time. Each input pipeline is running in it's own thread, connected to an output pipeline, which is also a dedicated thread with its own scheduler.

Heya, so I'm looking forward to aKademy, as it will be first real life meeting of the amaroK development squad. When you spend years developing stuff together in open source fashion, talking over IRC pretty much every day, it is kinda cool to meet up with your folks, exchange coding lore at the campfire, snatch some beer from the JuK developers, that sort of stuff.

As some of you might know, the amaroK project (an audio player for KDE) decided some time ago to implement an audio engine interface that makes it possible to use multiple media frameworks, which makes amaroK quite useful as a testing platform. Here I've tried to summarize my experiences with GStreamer so far (maybe mxcl can do the same for NMM sometime, since he's been hacking that engine):
