Correct. As far as I know xine supports audio output to jackd since version 1.1.3. As soon as xine tells Phonon it supports jack, Phonon will list jack in the list of output devices (where in the screenshot above you already see arts and esd as soundservers).

Is there any work ongoing to secure that , I as an below avearge sound user, can have an understandable way of configuring this stuff?

Preferably one manner to configure everything regarding sound? Please! not alsa.conf for this and jack conf for that and Phonon conf ....

I have had several realy nasty encounters with sound problems earlier....

Regards Birger

The idea is that Phonon will try to guess the correct defaults and give you the possibility to adjust those.

Regarding soundcard setup I'll try to make it smart. For example it currently uses dmix automatically, if that doesn't work fall back to hw and if that doesn't work fall back to plughw. Now the next step is to first test whether hw does mixing already, then dmix might be unnecessary or even counterproductive.

Regarding the soundservers I'd like to be able to help the user configure the soundserver correctly if he wants to use one. All that needs a lot of testing and information about different hardware and setups so that I will never be able to get it right on my own. It would be great if people can help out here.
