Hi guys,

I sent the attached email out to player-dev@hc.org re: the platform for 
balto (helix player 2.0).

Feedback appreciated, particularly if this is going to cause probems for 
your distribution. Please include the player-dev@helixcommunity.org list 
if possible. 2.0's coming out later in the year.

Hi all,

We're working on coming up with platform requirements for Helix Player 
2.0 / Balto. Our initial list includes:

- gtk 2.4 or later (required, was: gtk 2.0 or later)
- alsa 1.0 (optional, new)
- dbus 0.31 or later (optional, new)

ALSA will be offered as an option along side OSS support. If a suitable 
version of ALSA is not present, the player will still function as an OSS 
player.

A DBus-enabled desktop will be required for universal media engine 
support. If dbus is not present, the player will still function with 
this feature disabled.

Does this sound reasonable to everyone?
