Hi all, first, the time table: 2001-11-21 assignments are out 2001-11-24 everyone sends a status report to the list 2001-12-01 everyone sends a status report to the list 2001-12-08 first release Looks good, doesn't it? Some functionality we need to add to libmedia.so //these will go away when we recreate the media_node API namespace mediakit_private { status_t GetMasterVolume(float *volume); status_t SetMasterVolume(float volume); } Assignments: If you are Aleksander Lodwich: * publish the documentation you did regarding media_server and libmedia.so interaction * write the media_server part that searches for a soundcard, * initialises it, loads the master volume setting from a settings * file, add the global Get/SetMasterVolume functions to the lib, * and their counterpart inside the media_server * Implement a mixer in the media_server which accepts raw * sound data contained in BMessages, that it gets send, * to be used by BSoundPlayer Jens Winkler: * you still wanted to convert the gobe documentation * of the multiaudio api into something more readable (html, pdf) * write a replacement for the Media Preferences application, * consisting of only one stereo slider for the master volume * control and including a deskbar replicant for volume control. * be sure to update the volume while the sliders are tracked * Use the global Get/SetMasterVolume functions. Juno: * add functionality into BSoundPlayer. Don't use any of the * 'normal' media kit api, as it simply isn't there yet. Put * the sounddata into BMessage to be send to the media_server * for playing, be sure to handle the buffer callback functionality. We are some more in the team, but Anthony Quinn: * does not have time currently. Shane Parker: * is new. I didn't expect him :) * please follow the links contained in the Summary * email, and try to understand what's going on here. I already wrote the libmedia.so replacement, and I'm currently porting AMP 0.7.6 to BeOS, so we have a mp3 decoder. If someone has a better idea, please tell me. regards Marcus
