I appreciate what your doing. I've been looking at the source of several components (inc. MCE) to see what is worth bringing over to debian jessie. being somewhat less experienced than yourself, fmg, pali.. it does take me a lot longer to analyse and understand how it all works together. Without the source it would be even harder.

Take todays topic for research, xprot/pulseaudio. If xprot merely acts as a highpass/lowpass filter (which it may or may not do), why can't we just set up the sink that uses ladspa modules to force all sound through a software filter and avoid nokias closed source module. I can come up with ideas just don't know how to execute them.
