3. Status of Sailfish X (10 min -- asked by Setok) (sledges, 08:06:17)
   1. <Setok> No new device support has been announced in well over a year with currently supported devices ageing and mostly unavailable in shops. Jolla’s main page does not link to Sailfish X. Is it now considered to be in maintenance mode or is the plan still to develop it (for e.g. Xperia 10 ii)? (sledges, 08:06:29)
   2. <Jolla> Sailfish X is alive and well. We also noticed Jolla’s main page lacks link to Sailfish X, we are planning to add one there soon. (sledges, 08:06:56)
   3. <Jolla> Regarding Xperia 10 II, we’re looking into broadening the supported Sailfish OS hardware selection and into enabling this product to the officially supported products. (sledges, 08:07:02)
   4. <Jolla> However, please bear in mind that for now we can’t promise any schedule for it and should you choose to obtain this hardware it shall be your decision at risk. Thank you keeping this clear in mind! (sledges, 08:07:09)
   
   
4. QtMediaPlayer, change audiosspeed with pitch compensation (10 min -- asked by thigg) (sledges, 08:29:38)
   1. <thigg> When playing audiobooks or podcasts people like to change the playback speed. Currently the mediaplayer allows adjusting the speed but it has no pitch compensation. Thus the speakers are pitched higher/lower. Gstreamer has plugins that can be put into the pipeline which do this, but the gstreamer pipeline is only modifyable after QT5.12. (sledges, 08:29:48)
   2. <thigg> Are workarounds possible? Is it planned to add some kind of feature that allows this easily? (sledges, 08:30:00)
   3. <Jolla> As we said last week, we have no plans to implement anything like this right now. However, maybe it's possible to modify QtMultimedia to include a suitable plugin while avoiding backporting upstream changes. (sledges, 08:30:12)
