With the announcement of the Phonon website (and for many it also was an announcement of the whole project) I received a lot of reactions. Far more than I had expected!

While there are still some people asking why KDE 4 will not "standardize" on GStreamer, most understood my reasoning though and are looking forward (together with me) to Phonon + KDE 4.

Yesterday linux.com published an article about Phonon. The author of the article contacted me right after the announcement to produce, what I think is the best independent text about Phonon so far.

On Friday and Saturday I was able to participate in presenting KDE on LinuxTag in Wiesbaden and on Saturday morning Michael Repplinger from NMM and I held a one hour presentation on Phonon and NMM and demoed the audio/video playback capabilities of the Phonon-NMM backend. It was also the first time for me to see the network capabilities of the backend in action: The Phonon-NMM control application was able to route the audio and video signals to another computer on the network such that both computers played perfectly in sync.
