[Clam-devel] CLAM XMMS pluggin

[Ben Erridge]

I am not all very familiar with QT, also I haven't written C++ in years(c,
java primarily) but I have tried to integrate a simple qt widget into my
xmms plugin unsuccessfully. I am thinking of just proxying the data from
xmms into a block of shared memory and then develope a QT-CLAM app that
reads the shared memory block to get the audio/control data...

What do you think about that?
