-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
-- hardware volume support
-
-Fixes:
-- improve module-oss-mmap latency measurement
-- module-tunnel: improve latency calculation
-- make alsa modules use mmap
-- even more commenting
-
-Features:
-- add radio module
-- xmlrpc
+Post 0.8:
+- alsa mmap driver
- dbus/hal
-- rendezvous autotunnel module
- polish for starting polypaudio as root/system-wide instance
-- export connection fd
+- chroot()
+- add threading API
+- module-tunnel: improve latency calculation
+- port from howl to avahi
+- multiline configuration statements
+- use scatter/gather io for sockets
+- add a synchronous API (base it on xmms-polyp)
+- 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 software volume when hardware doesn't support all channels (alsa done)
+- double check channel maps for backends, including that mixer and pcm match
+- 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)
Long term:
- pass meta info for hearing impaired
Backends for:
- portaudio (semi-done)
-- alsa-lib
- sdl
- OSS (esddsp style)
+- gstreamer (needs to be updated)
+- fix channel maps in all external backends. Take care when doing volume
+ changes if you're modifying a sink/source since those might have a different
+ map.
