Might as well use glib-dbus since you have to have glib for gstreamer. I don't think glib increases the program anywhere near as much as GTK does. And maybe you have gstreamer in some default bloated down mode and its possible to get its size down, a lot.

I love this idea.

I listen to Acoustic Radio Cafe and it plays songs you can't find or purchase anywhere online.

So yeah, having Streamripper (already available) support would be amazing.
I tried to use streamripper a while ago to record from somafm, and it will eat the cpu and the battery alive.

gstreamer isn't a good audio player for the N8x0.
From my work in the old mediabox I've seen that the propietary mediaplayer-engine (media player backend) is quite easy to use and low on memory usage, it uses the DSP, and it makes sense to use it first since you already have it in memory (4,8 MB RSS)

Kroll, i think it's time to start working out some formal technical requirements. Could you create some public Google Doc for it, please?
ok. I think today I will find time to do it.
By the way, why don't we create a garage page? There is a place for reqests, isn't it?

Yes, the request tracker. I think mitrandir wants an organized document (that can be re-arranged) of what needs to be done and ways to do it. The tracker would be a mess.

maacruz, thanks! Could you please point me to some docs on the mediaplayer-engine or something to start with?

Kropl, to organize some place for sources and tracker at garage or github we need some name for the project. Since thats your idea and inspiration the name is up to you

The googledoc you have created is a good start. Lets fill it with more concrete technical, UX and other details.

auouymous, i've started to code a simple lightweight ui library and may be will publish something soon. Hope you will find it useful

Well I suggest a Simple Music Player - Simp.
Lets fill it with more concrete technical, UX and other details.
I will organize it as soon as I will have some free time. But you all welcome to participate!

There seems to be no documentation anywhere to be found.
Just the code from mediabox or atabake. Both are python and use python dbus.Interface magic to generate a controlling class.
https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scm...ox&view=markup

If you have any problem understanding this code, tell me and I'll write the documentation for you.

Maybe I'll extra ASUI's process viewer code and make a list widget for it.

Also working on some code that allows sliding between views. It copies the current window to a pixmap, draws next view in another pixmap and then slowly animates between the two or allows user to drag between the two views. When you open a folder in the file manager it will slide the new folder in from the right. When you swipe right or click to go back it slides the parent folder in from the left. And switching between bookmarks and file view might slide vertically. ASUI will also use this when changing between primary and secondary widget pages and when opening/closing dialogs.

Maybe we should also start a UI library project/thread to create a lightweight and touch-friendly UI widget library. Figure out what should be in it to make a new style of apps for Maemo4. Such as system-wide theming support and Kroll could tell us what is needed for good theming. Wouldn't it be nice if ASUI, SiMP, the file manager, Telescope's category bar and others all shared the same theme?

Thoughts?
