Hello Marek,

        Here is how I use the new media kit.

        Go to BeBits and download the audio mixer http://www.bebits.com/app
/3794

        expand it out.

        delete the files in the data directory (leave the scripts alone)

        Create links in the data directory to the Haiku media kit files
                libmedia.so
                media_addon_server
                media_server
                mixer_media_addon
                
        You will also need to copy/link the plugins directory into /boot/
beos/system/add-ons/media/plugins

        Then run the script install.sh

        This will create a seperate directory that has a runserver.sh and 
an uninstall.sh

        Run the server with the script and everything is up an running.

        To remove just quit the media_server and then run the uninstall.sh

Cheers
David

PS      I am of course open to better methods. ;-)
