That's why we have Phonon in Qt/KDEThat's why we have Phonon in Qt/KDEPosted Sep 19, 2008 7:04 UTC (Fri) by Tuxie (guest, #47191)In reply to: That's why we have Phonon in Qt/KDE by aleXXX Parent article: LPC: Linux audio: it's a mess
libsydney and portaudio are wrappers like Phonon. In the same category there are also libao, SDL-audio and others.
What I miss most with PulseAudio is AC3/DTS/AAC passthrough. I hope that will be implemented soon. It's not too uncommon to have the computer connected to a receiver via SPDIF nowadays, and having it go through the AC3 -> decode -> PA -> ALSA AC3-encoder -> receiver is a lot worse CPU wise than just AC3 -> receiver when the system is already struggling with being able to decode the 1080p video stream in realtime.

phonon is a very different wrapper than libsydney and portaudio. The latter two wrap PCM output, the former a media decoder with a couple of other things.
