Description arne anka 2009-08-08 19:37:12 UTC
Version:           unknown (using 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.29.4

i assume "systemsettings/sound" means "System Settings" -> "Multimedia" (and hope, somebody cares to unify those names).

simple question: what is one supposed to do with taht kind of "configuration interface"?
- where do those "output devices" come from and what is one supposed to do with them? there's no context dialog, nothing
- what use has the "backend" tab? where does the little, if all, configuration offered into play? what means "deinterlacing" and when is it used?
- how does one configure these backends? where can i enable my bluetooth headset?

KDE SC 4.4.0 will be released with a documentation for this systemsettings modele, see

Does this answer your questions?
