Re: Per-App Settings?

1) Every Phonon AudioOutput object can be told over dbus to change its volume. For now the only way to remote control the volume of an app is to use qdbus:
% qdbus org.kde.knotify /AudioOutputs/0 Get org.kde.Phonon.AudioOutput volume
1
% qdbus org.kde.knotify /AudioOutputs/0 Set org.kde.Phonon.AudioOutput volume 0.2
% qdbus org.kde.knotify /AudioOutputs/0 Get org.kde.Phonon.AudioOutput volume
0.200000002980232

The value is stored as float in case you wonder about the 0.2.

2) It's on the todo list. But it's not likely to be ready for 4.0 unless more people help out. The idea is to use AudioDataOutput and VideoDataOutput objects to capture the media data and then an AvWriter object to encode and write to a file.

Great stuff, thanks Matthias :)

The answer to 2) is a huge (and welcome!) surprise to me: it looks like you have a very rich and functional piece of software coming together. Keep it up!
