Hey there,

it's GSOC proposla time [1]. IMO this is something we should think about, but the decision should probably be made by the core devs (I'd be willing to mentor, though). Currently the following comes to my mind:

• Migrate to pixman (this might be a bit too much)
• Fix Cairo (This must be joint with the cairo guys, as it involves fixing stuff on out side as well as theirs)
• Fix GLX (I have no idea how much effort this ist)

May I add

• Better sound support (either through fixes to pulseaudio or through changing to a different sound transport method that works equally well on Linux, Windows and Mac OS)

to the list of suggestions?

Note: I might be able to throw some cash in the general direction of the core developers for this around mid-2013, if someone is willing and able to work on that task.

While we currently have a fallback solution on Windows by using the interim client with the old pulseaudio, this is ENOTGOOD.
