Ok, so that is useful information. Out of interest, what about the Meego reference media players, are they not considered worth using/working on?

Looking at Amarok, I see that they are not overly keen on GStreamer (which is no surprise really), which makes me wonder whether it will be possible to integrate the existing DSP tasks (for video of course) with whatever backend the Qt Phonon abstraction decides to use. I'll have to do some research.

I'm quite looking forward to having a workable Meego image on my N900, and then being able to tweak/hack/add features to my heart's content. Some sort of guidance as to which apps are recommended (given the nod by Nokia ), etc., would be useful to avoid wasted effort - I remember this from the days of OpenZaurus where there were myriad media players, etc.

My ideal of a Meego image that I can use and still improve may not suit other people though, as we'll effectively go to something that is less polished and almost invariably will have more application bugs than we currently have in Maemo - I like this, gives me something to do, things to improve, but I fear that a lot of people will want to skip this step and remain with Maemo until Meego becomes polished enough. These people will still want bug fixes in the existing Maemo codebase.
