Phonon Xine TNG is an updated Phonon-Xine backend included with KDE 4.1, with better functionality and features.
Phonon Xine TNG is a valuable software that has been recently released as a separate, improved version of the Phonon-Xine backend shipped with KDE 4.1. Although it was too late to include it in the trunk due to a freeze, this release comes with exciting features making it even more useful.
One of the significant differences between this version and the one in KDE 4.1 is its ability to support the use of several MediaObjects in the same process. Additionally, the new version frees the null ports when they are not in use to stop all wakeups, which fixes a significant issue. However, since it has only been tested by the developer, users should expect it to be less stable than the backend in the trunk.
To use the Phonon Xine TNG software, you need to ensure you have Phonon 4.1.83, automoc4 0.9.83, and KDE 4.x installed. The software has some exciting updates in this release. The incorrectly failed assertion for the NullSink has been addressed, and off_t now has 64 bits. If you're using cmake 2.6, you need the latest automoc to ensure that the device listing is not broken. Additionally, the release has removed the useless OSS checkbox on the configuration page.
Overall, Phonon Xine TNG is a valuable addition to any software enthusiast's collection. Its new capabilities and features address several issues users encountered with the previous version. However, since it is a new release and has not been tested widely, users should approach it with caution.
