1 The sound team is planning to split up media-sound. It currently
2 contains 150+ apps and they cover a wide range of applications.
3
4 The first phase of this is to create a new category, 'media-music' that
5 will contain (obviously) all the music related ebuilds. We plan to
6 define media-music packages as packages which relate to the creation of
7 music. Players (mp3/ogg/whatever) will remain in media-sound.
8
9 The proposed list of builds to move is in bug 20963 [1]. Due to the
10 number of packages moving, it's likely to take a while. We'll probably
11 do things a few at a time to make sure things stay stable.
12
13 Once this is done we plan to look at what is left and determine if
14 additional categories are needed.

16 Let us know if you have any comments / concerns. (-dev or sound@g.o)
