-- per-channel volume
-- unix socket directories include user name
-- add sample directory
-- make mcalign merge chunks
-- option to use default fragment size on alsa drivers
-- improve module-oss-mmap latency measurement
-- filter capture data in client through alignment
-- add radio module
-- make autoload list use idxset
-- enlarge mqmblockq sizes
+Post 0.8:
+- alsa mmap driver
+- dbus/hal
+- polish for starting polypaudio as root/system-wide instance
+- 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)
-** later ***
-- xmlrpc/http
-- dbus
-- slp/rendezvous
-- make alsa modules use mmap
+Long term:
+- pass meta info for hearing impaired
+- X11: support for the X11 synchronization extension

+Backends for:
- portaudio (semi-done)
-- alsa-lib
- sdl
-- gstreamer (semi-done)
- 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.
