Star Stats: Linux Kernel Development Speeds Up
Linked by Jordan Spencer Cunningham on Wed 19th Aug 2009 20:54 UTC
Linux The Linux Foundation has made some analyzation the past two years into just how much code is being added to the project and who is doing that contribution. This year's report is out, and the results are actually quite smile-worthy if you're a Linux advocate: the increase in code contributions is phenomenal, the rate at which these contributions are being submitted is faster, and there are more individual developers than previously.

Phonon is multiplatform, has a nice and simple API and none of the problems that PULSE has.

I think if more people were aware of how well it works, they would not have embarked on the mess that Pulse is.

Right now, it is broken in most major distributions and lots of applications do not work with it. They work fine without it.

Please stop the shitty Linux hype. Phonon isn't multiplatform it's 'multi-Linux'. You have to do some really heavy chin-ups just to port it to multiple platforms.

You do know that Phonon has already been ported to OSX and Windows, right? Which means you don't have to do the porting anymore.
