Phonon - Multimedia API for KDE

Overview | phonon_tut1 "Application Example" | phonon_backend_development_page "Backend Development"

%Phonon is the Multimedia API for %KDE. You should evaluate whether %Phonon supplies all you need before looking at frameworks like GStreamer, NMM or Helix. The range of applications goes from full featured media players and capture applications to voice/video chats.

A Basic Overview In %Phonon there are three main concepts: MediaObjects, Paths and Outputs. The MediaObjects control the playback/capture and provide the media data. MediaObjects can be connected to Outputs using Path objects which also allow the insertion of Effect objects between MediaObject and Output.
