Short version, we are very pleased. We had a lot of problems in the begining, but I think that was because we where the first "real" program to use the p2p model. We don't have any bugs related to dbus (as we know of) now. The API is very straightforward and easy to use, which is good since the documentation could be a lot better. The unixsocket transport seems very fast and has low latency, we use it to transport the fft-data on each sample to the client in order to draw the spectrumanalyzer without any problems. The concerns I have regarding DBUS now is that it's not very tested on anything but linux and only seems to work with g_main_loop in glib. I hope the devlopers will get it to work with QT and on other platforms soon enough. Hope that helps. //Tobias
