-Architectural changes:
-- per-channel volume
-- channel mapping ("left", "right", "rear", "subwoofer")
-- add API for synchronizing multiple sinks/sources to a common clock
-- absolutely indexed write()s from client
-- remove "polyplib-" prefix
-
-Fixes:
-- improve module-oss-mmap latency measurement
-- module-tunnel: improve latency calculation
-- make alsa modules use mmap
-- event more commenting
-
-Features:
-- add radio module
-- xmlrpc/http
-- dbus
-- rendezvous
+Post 0.9.0:
+- alsa mmap driver
+- dbus/hal
- polish for starting polypaudio as root/system-wide instance
-- export connection fd
+- chroot()
+- module-tunnel: improve latency calculation
+- port from howl to avahi
+- multiline configuration statements
+- use scatter/gather io for sockets
+- rtp module ported to Win32 (sendmsg/recvmsg emulation)
+- CODECs to reduce bandwidth usage (plug-in based)
+- Remove symdef files and use macros (like most other projects)
+- Use own name mangling scheme instead of ltdl's, which will eliminate the
+ need for .la files or extra trickery.
+- use software volume when hardware doesn't support all channels (alsa done)
+- paplay needs to set a channel map. our default is only correct for AIFF.
+ (we need help from libsndfile for this)
+- silence generation should be moved into the core to avoid races and code
+ duplication in the backends
+- examine if it is possible to mimic esd's handling of half duplex cards
+ (switch to capture when a recording client connects and drop playback during
+ that time)
+- Fix a way for the threading API to handle state and subscription callbacks
+ in a nice way.
+- iconv stuff sent from utils to server (UTF-8)
+- iconv sample loading in server
+- Document utf8.h, timeval.h and util.h
+- fix clock of the NULL sink
+- gettextify polypaudio
+- use send() with MSG_NOSIGNAL instead of write() wherever possible, and than drop that SIGPIPE warning
+- drop dependency of libpolyp on libX11, instead use an external mini binary
+- "hot" moving of streams between sinks
+- check if using prctl(PR_GET_NAME) makes sense in pa_get_binary_name()
+- gconf module + frontend
+- hooks for creating sink inputs
Long term:
- pass meta info for hearing impaired
Backends for:
- portaudio (semi-done)
-- alsa-lib
- sdl
-- OSS (esddsp style)
+- xine (needs update)
