Yeah, I've seen it, but afaik it does not work. Not sure though, I haven't played with Weston in a long time.

I wish the panel location was configurable so you could have it on the bottom instead of the top.
Also that you could minimize applications to the panel.

Of course the volume of data is much larger, but what difference would it make if it used a separate thread?

If video processing slows down for some reason, it wouldn't cause audio stutter.

The difference is that processing audio is easy, but video is tremendously harder to process than audio, as you have to process millions (sometimes billions) of samples per second when compared to just thousands in audio.

I don't know the details, but I'm not sure video streams are somehow inherently different from audio to require different treatment at that level.

I wish you could contribute a patch or issue a suggestion in their bug tracker.
I can't count how many times you've been repeating the same suggestions on every Weston thread.

Renaming weston to tochter would be cool and super accurate.

Pronunciation of [x] would be highly inaccurate at too many occasions though.

If that's true, then that's a problem... It should at least have 2 separate threads/processes, one for audio and another for video.
