Perhaps a plugin of some sort that would allow users to configure synchronization similar to Unison (I'm not a programmer, so please pardon if this sounds stupid), which could simply compare timestamps of podcast files on the device with timestamps of podcasts in the local library and update/replace files on the mobile device if necessary.

Autosync of the device upon mount would also be handy.

Blueman is a GTK+ Bluetooth Manager

Blueman is designed to be simple and intuitive for everyday bluetooth tasks such as:

* Connecting to 3G/EDGE/GPRS via dial-up
* Connecting to/Creating bluetooth networks
* Connecting to input devices
* Connecting to audio devices
* Sending/Receiving/Browsing files via OBEX
* Pairing

Blueman also integrates with Network Manager 0.7, making any Bluetooth Dialup/Network connections available (via HAL) to Network Manager.

Banshee should be able to know when new files are added to the library directory and add them right away.

Gnome and Ubuntu use Tracker as a file searcher, so why don't other programs use it as well?
Banshee could use it.

There is already a working solution to this: the LibraryWatcher extension.

But I guess that somehow it was bundled disabled.

With devices like PSP or any other PMP we can now watch movies. However, we cannot manage files in Banshee or other program, because .is_audio_player defines only music players.

What we need is a new file that will be describe f.e.
- movie directory
- supported resolutions, codecs, file formats,
- podcast directory
- maybe audiobooks?
- other things that can be put on pmp.

This works in iTunes for me very well. (They additionally include translated prefixes for "The" - like "Die"/"Der"/"Das" in german)

Provide an editable list of ignored prefixes. This way, each user can setup the app best for his needs and language issues are taken care of.

Use a backend like PulseAudio and integrate Volume sliders listing vertically into the Sound Menu. This will give users much more control. Only display applications that are creating sound, and link the sliders on the Sound Menu with any volume sliders in the application. By default, have them hidden, but create the capability to click a drop-down box to reveal them.

a GUI would be so much better.
***remember: "linux for human beings", before suggesting to leave "as-is"

a GUI that lets you:
1. Select the sound driver you are currently using (ALSA, OSS, Pulseaudio) from a drop-down list
2. Various system-wide options for the driver would be shown below:
You can change the audio buffer using a slider (or numerical value in MB)
You can set-up multiple audio outputs (if you have more than one audio out port that you want to use)
You can set up 2,3.1,4,5.1, and 7.1 surround sound by clicking on a button in the GUI, which brings you to a step-by-step configuration (next, previous buttons included)
it would also include a test page towards the end of the configuration that sends sound through each speaker, to make sure they are all working.

Add all the above settings into the existing sound configuration menu, possibly under a tab labeled "Advanced".

In the Sound Menu bar below or above the volume scroller, place a progress slider.

Simple as that.
