thomasvs: being a good open source citizen I always check bugzilla and the list archives whether the issue has already been reported before reporting it .. which is why you hear so little of me. I should probably find a way to make it clearer what probs I bump into, though. I thought of blogging more- mentioning the things I run into. Started doing that yesterday..

As for my switch - it's really just temporarily. This is just me being a very impatient person- I want my software to work, and I want it to work right now, and not in n months time. I agree the GStreamer project would benefit from it if I left the default backend at GStreamer, so that it would get more testing. Very true. However, debugging audio backends is not my focus with Muine - my focus is the interface, and the interface should work well. If that involves temporarily switching to xine-lib as default backend, even though not the ideal choice from a cooperation perspective, so be it ...
