|  I agree. I don't think relying on external tools to sync the
|config is best solution as the configuration file has definitely
|grown in complexity since. It would be nice to have each client
|just point to a server or find one on the local subnet and
|retrieve its config from the server. Definitely a good feature
|to include in the future.

cool.

|  Of course, I think that perhaps the server should be ported to an
|OO language, either C++ or Java or maybe Mono C#. Collin and I had
|been playing around with the idea. It would be easier then to enforce
|component separation (although the 0.5.0 server does a great job at
|this even though it's all enforced in the loose C way). We could then
|expand the input interfaces to include a variety of communications
|methods much more easily then the current implementation. What do you
|guys think of this?  It would also make it easier to embed in other
|systems...

is perl (OO, of course) out of question on this ?
otherwise i would choose java because of the programmers base.
(although running a jvm on my box would really piss me off,
but i guess we'll all do that one of thoses days)
otherwise C* is nice for execution time and ease of executing(no jvm)

|  The current audio interface is nice modularized. Alsa works with 0.5.0,

ie : i listen to xmms, and peep. i want peep to be a little bit
louder than xmms. if i change the dsp volume or the master volume,
it changes both volumes : peep's and xmms. do you see what i mean ?
i think we might need a way to set a general volume gain within peep...
