Introduction

Confident Index =0

The following is based on the documentation available here Phonon API.

By getting involved with Phonon, you can choose between three different main tasks.

  • Using the Phonon API, which allows you to develop your own multimedia application. In fact any application that needs sound can take benefits form the phonon API.
  • Hacking the Phonon library, (try to develop more this topic).
  • Writing Phonon backend, this consists in writing interfaces that allows Phonon to use different sound/video engine. This usually requires good skills and knowledge of the engine you interface.

By the way the beginners will probably be interested by the first task.
