KDE 3.5.X

Congratulations for KDE 3.5.4.
I'm using KDE 3.5.3 on Tomahawk Desktop and did not try the latest version of KDE yet. I have following queries regarding that:
1. You get MP3 and Ogg settings under Control Center->Sound & Multimedia->Audio CDs. Where the settings for FLAC? If this is not available for KDE users who intend to convert their CDs to FLAC, is there any plan to include into KDE 3.5.X or KDE 4.X?
2. Can the KDE convert 24bit 96kHz CDs into FLAC at the same rate? I have converted one such CD (www.orangemusicnet.com, Montana Skies) into FLAC, but it turn out to be 16bit 44.1kHz! I worry may be the CD is not recorded into 24bit 96kHz in first place even though its printed on the CD cover. Can others convert 24bit 96kHz CDs at the correct rate? How about converting even higher, such as 24bit 170kHz CDs (Reference Recordings, etc)?
3. Currently the Tomahawk Desktop is based on X.org 6.8.2. If I upgrade the Xorg server to 7.1 and the KDE to 3.5.4, can I get the latest desktop features sports in SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10? Eg. Desktop previews, desktops in a cube, etc. Please see http://www.novell.com/video/bs_06/monday_press_demo.ogg if not sure what I mean.
4. Is there a Screen capture program for KDE which can capture live desktop sessions at high definition resolution, 1280x800, 1280x720 or DVD quality?

1.
What would be the point? FLAC is lossless, the only thing you can adjust is how long it spends on compression, and we have defaulted it to the most sane value.
2.
I think Audio CD expects real CDs and therefore 16bit 44.1kHz

Umm, what?
Exactly what do you think tools like cdda2wav and cdparanoia do?

Or even better: kaudiocreator, or just use Konqueror to copy the audio cd :)
Nick probably never used linux or kde before :o)

Yeah, and of course we can use K3B to make copies of audio CDs. :)

Thanks for replies. But I'm still not convinced whether KDE/Konqueror could be used to convert 24bit 96kHz CDs (or even higher 24bit 170kHz) into FLAC. Does this means nobody in the KDE community attempt to convert such CDs into FLAC !? :)
I read it somewhere if you create a CUE sheet when you convert CDs into FLAC, you can recreate the CD from FLAC with similar gaps between tracks. But when I create I don't get any such CUE files. That's why I mentioned why don't we have FLAC settings section like for MP3. In fact, if it is possible to select maximum compression when converting into FLAC, we may be able to save couple of gigabytes. At least we can try them and see.

24bit 96kHz CD?
CD is a standard with mandatory 44.1kHz and 16bit. What you are refering to sounds more like an AudioDVD or SuperCD, which is unfortunately not supported yet.
