The work you're doing for #8007 is some of the most important work
going on in Haiku right now, keep it up and thanks.

My 2c is that you should use a public Github branch if the changes you
have in mind for MediaKit/MediaPlayer have a definite end in mind.

If the changes you have in mind are ongoing then you should do the
work directly in HEAD instead because otherwise you'll never merge and
I'm afraid that your changes may get forgotten as has happened a few
times before, Tracker Layout for example.

As far as noise goes I enjoy seeing changes happening in branches,
anybody that doesn't want to see your changes can setup an email
filter to archive the mails, that's what I've done for branches I
don't care about.
