Hi Nathan,
Thanks for your email. 

First of all audio (and video)-only support is planned for the next
release. Already got some of the code for it done, although it needs
some cleanups to handle formats without container formats (ie. mp3 or
some variants of aac).

GStreamer is already multithreaded by design, and so is many of the
plugins. So when transmageddon runs it is using multiple cores for
instance if available. However most encoders are singlethreaded atm,
which is why you will often not see 100% CPU usage.

Been considering the queue of items option quite a few times, I am
trying to keep the UI very basic and I haven't come up with an idea for
a look yet of how the queue system would work without complicating
things to much.

Just thought I'd mention that Arista is in the process of undergoing 
some UI changes based on user feedback I have gotten. The ultimate goal 
is to simplify the interface and lower confusion that people have 
emailed me about. Because of that the main dialog now looks like this:

http://programmer-art.org/dropbox/arista-new-ui.png

You'll notice the preset selection and queue are gone. The preset 
selection is now in a new dialog with a filterable list of presets that 
shows a little more preset information. The view of the queue is now 
completely gone. I'm not sure if I will add that back in, but you can 
create as many conversions as you want and they will run one after 
another with the progress bar telling you how many jobs are left. I'm 
considering a "cancel all" button and considering a queue dialog in the 
future, but would like to work on a few other things before then for the 
next release.

For those people that do want a queue - what is most important for you? 
Being able to run jobs one after another? Being able to prioritize jobs? 
Being able to reorder jobs? Being able to remove jobs?

Take care,
Daniel

Hello multimedia guys,
You might remember I started to rewrite Gnome sound recorder in Vala
some months ago.
Recently I got some time to update it, so i'd like to have some
feedback. You can grab the code here
http://gitorious.org/gnome-sound-recorder

I didn't port it to Gtk+3 yet, because I can't get it working with Vala,
Gstreamer and all the Gnome stuff but there's not much to change: use
GtkApplication and update the custom widget.

Cheers,
Florent Thévenet

Arista has a queue and I think it would make sense to prioritise other
things in transmagedon (like using the encodebin and the profiles). Of
course its christians decision.

Rygel 0.9.9 (Relativity) is out!

A new release in the current unstable 0.9.x series for upcoming GNOME 2.91.90
release.

- Define separate log domains for core and each plugin.
- Improved log output control: We now allow you to specify log levels separately
  for each log domain.
- HTTP Connection stalling supported for ALL streams.
- Entertain priority in GStreamer-based HTTP streams.
- Rename 'upnp_enabled' in configuration to 'upnp-enabled'.
- Add section about MPRIS plugin to manpage.
- Several fixes/improvements to manpages.
- Fix some environment variables' names.
- Use both user & system configuration. So far, we have been ignoring the system
  configuration file when the user configuration file exists. This leads into
  problems whenever our configuration keys change. Now we load configuration
  from both sources and get the config value from system configuration if user
  configuration doesn't offer a value for it.
- Use 'data' directory in source tree as the system config location when
  configured to run uninstalled.
- Configure option to enable fatal valac warings. Also make this default when
  running autogen.sh.
- Make configure --help less ugly.
- Make use of modern autotools.
- Show VALA flags in configure summary.
- Remove special configure flag to enable maemo configuration as it should just
  be the default in maemo-specific branch.
- Clear the ChangeLog file content.
- UI:
  - Trim-down the UI to only provide options that end-user needs.
  - Use the correct key for 'UPnP enabled' option.
  - All widgets must be disabled when sharing is.
  - Option to use 'any' network.
- MediaExport:
  - Hide empty virtual folders.
  - Don't keep empty containers in DB.
  - More debug output.
- Tracker:
  - Only share available files: As tracker also indices removable media we need
    to filter out those files that are currently unavailable.
- Localization:
  - Add Kannada translation.
  - Update UG translation.
  - Update German translation.
  - Update UK translation.
  - Update Gujarati translations.
  - Update Ukranian translation.
  - Update Hebrew translation.
  - Update Norwegian bokmål translation.
  - Update Spanish translation.
  - Update Estonian translation.
- Many other non-functional and/or minor improvements and fixes.

Dependency-related changes:

- Require & adapt to Vala 0.11.6
- Explicitly require gssdp >= 0.9.2

Bugs fixed in this release:

641882 - 0.9.8 does not build

What is Rygel?

Rygel is a collection of DLNA (UPnP AV) services implemented through a plug-in
mechanism. UPnP in simplest words is a set of protocols that defines how
different devices on a home network can seamlessly (without or with minimum
configuration) communicate with each other. UPnP AV defines how multimedia
systems could be built on top of that. DLNA in simple words is a long list of
rules that implementers must comply to if they want to achieve interoperability
with other implementations in the market.
