Luiz, what is the time frame for removal of this socket IPC? Will it
still be supported in Meego 1.2, 1.3, etc.? I don't disagree this is
the right thing to do, I am just wondering if we would run into some
integration issues that would actually delay the availability of MP3
passthrough by moving too quickly. Or maybe we can have the two
approaches supported and remove this initial version at a later time?
Thanks,
