CD burning up for grabs

dmazzoni
I realized that I haven't touched CD burning in a while, so I'm  
offering it up for grabs.  I checked in my library, "portburn", to  
CVS in audacity/lib-src/portburn, and thanks to some help from  
Leland, it works great on both Mac OS X and Windows XP - but it's  
just a standalone library now, not integrated into Audacity.

What I intended to do was:

* Create a configure script and Makefile

* Refactor "Export Multiple" so that "Export Multiple", "Export to  
FTP", and "Export to CD-ROM" all share most of the same code - in  
particular, most of the same code for choosing how to split a project  
into multiple tracks, and the same code to mix the audio for export.  
They would each subclass this generic class to provide the unique  
functionality.  (The only technical detail I hadn't worked out is how  
to Export a WAV file directly to FTP, since libsndfile only writes to  
a local file, not to a memory buffer...I guess we'll have to stage  
the whole file on disk before uploading.)

* Add Linux support by imitating how xcdroast works - this would be a  
pretty significant task but perfect for a "old-school" unix hacker  
type who's good with two-way pipes.  :)

Anyway, this is not at all high priority but it would be a really  
nice feature to add if anyone is interested in working on it.  I  
won't have time, so it's up for grabs.

This would be very popular and convenient for the users Dominic, and would
save a lot of hassle supporting the oddities of all the other CD burning apps.
out there..  But we have a lot of fixes to do on release checklist (to which
I have got things to add) and a lot of users who want a new stable release.
If no-one bites, can we at least have this though as "Not Aiming for 1.4.0"
on the Checklist? It is important and I'd like to see it recognised as such,
but not so important (I think) as ironing bugs and working towards 1.3.4 or
1.4.0 test.


Thanks

Gale

Gale,

I agree with your priorities, and we shouldn't wait until CD burning  
is completed to ship 1.4.0.  However, that doesn't mean someone  
couldn't work on it.  An experienced developer might get tired of  
fixing bugs and want to work on something new.  Or a new developer -  
new to Audacity, that is - might want to pick this up as a side  
project with some existing momentum but no immediate deadline.

I'm happy either way.

- Dominic
