well, I'll build one, don't worry.
since you commited it in KDE 3.4 branch, it will be in rc2 or final=20
release, so it's fine

well, we'll think at it, but kttsd already needs quite a lot of packages=20
(because of dependancies on speech synthetizers) and in debian=20
gstreamer is not a such big dependencies that should be avoided as=20
hell ... users are free to use arts or gstreamer output themselves.

but we will talk about it in the team and see what we will do.

sure, but you know :

[madcoder hades] LC_ALL=3DC apt-cache policy libgstreamer0.8-0
libgstreamer0.8-0:
  Installed: 0.8.9-1
  Candidate: 0.8.9-1
  Version Table:
 *** 0.8.9-1 0
        990 http://ftp2.fr.debian.org unstable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.8.8-1 0
        500 http://ftp2.fr.debian.org testing/main Packages

so you shouldn't bother that much about gstreamer instabilities with=20
versions << 0.8.9 ;)
