I'm sure this will come as no surprise to most people but I find the documentation for using QT on the N900 absolutely terrible (when it does exist), and in particular about using libraries...
I really like my N900, but I don't understand why Nokia seems to put so little effort into helping developers forward, after all I would have thought the whole point was to take advantage of the open source community to fill in the dead-empty ovi store... At this point in time I haven't even set up my development environment, but I'm thinking about going about it this way http://wiki.maemo.org/MADDE/QtCreato...on_for_windows ; if anybody reckons there are better ways please let me know. The reason for not having done so yet is that I don't want to go ahead with something if it proves impossible.
Anyhow, to the point
has anyone used the Phonon library for QT, and in particular effects (audio, I'm not interested in video, yet...)? If so I would like to know:what your experience in general has been with it? does Phonon come out of the box with the setup mentioned previously? what effects are available for the N900 (at the moment at least)? how do you go about using effects? what is the performance like, that includes the number of files that can be played simultaneously along with effects of sort (bearing in mind the application would also be running an interface, not just in terminal)?
