Thanks a lot for this, I get your point about the documentation and I agree that it is mostly because it is all over the place. I'm not one to usually learn with books, but I would at least like to see some serious documentation. It's my first attempt at developing for a mobile platform and my first time using QT and I guess I'm just a little bit confused as to how I'm supposed to go about it.

I'm not sure I particularly need QT4.6 over 4.5 as of now, but I thought with PR1.2 coming I might as well use it. Can I upgrade QT fairly easily on MADDE?

On another note, I've been quickly following Symfonie, which seems to be based on QT4.6 and Phonon. I wanted to have a look at the source but it seems it's not available at this point in time... My main concern being that there is apparently a serious performance issue with the equalizer, which I suppose is making use of Effects, and I was wondering if this was a common problem. I'm planning on playing more than one file at a time, and possibly with more than one effect at a time too.

Finally (sorry if this is dragging), I'm still unsure whether to go for C++ or Python. I'm mostly worried about performance issues, if any. As far as I understand C++ should be faster than Python, but then if I use PyQT all the "heavy" tasks will be handled by QT regardless, am I right in saying this?

Thanks!
