Thanks for the advice.

The company is currently evalutating Qt, and will be ordering Qt
commercial licenses. So we'll likely stay with Phonon from Trolltech,
also because we're selling a closed-source product (airport display
systems). More and more clients are asking for Linux clients, but there
will be Windows stuff for a long time to come.
Will the KDE QtDBUS for Windows sources make it into Qt commercial
eventually?

Thanks
