During September and October 2011 I have started (re)organizing KMix development quite a bit.
- Searching for maintainers of unmaintained components (e.g.the OSSv4 Backend).
- Compiling a list of “Junior Jobs”. These are features that are not so complex, would be nice to have, but where I personally have no time or motivation to do them myself.
- A big bug hunt and bugs.kde.org cleanup. Requesting feedback, bug triaging and forwarding bugs to the ALSA bugtracker. And fixing bugs! All in all there is an impressive reduction in then number of bugs in one month:
-69
That are the news for today. Next month is dedicated to polishing the already started features for KDE4.8.

great news that works are going also on “small” things like kmix!
PS horizontal default volume switcher is weird idea

Let me reassure you that the layout is not final. It is orienting on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu, but it will change quite a bit. I might also honor the “orientation” setting from the KMix configuration dialog. If I think about it, it seems like a nice idea.
