Well, I can say that if there is a new build in the works, much like other OS builds, you will receive an email when it's pushed out. I'm always interested in the improvement of Flash and DX acceleration, so each build is awaited on with bated breath. When will the next release happen? I cannot say for certain because that's based on the dev's completing it enough to release. Again, much like the other OS versions. Betas...

That's an interesting glitch I haven't encountered. Can you try switching to a different windows manager (i.e. Metacity) and see if this same error continues? When you go full screen, is it maximizing across both monitors or just one?

Same here, not sure why the source code isn't available for us who have had Beta invites. Perhaps it will become available soon. Such a shame as I...

pps I deleted my user folder (~/.boxee) and reopened boxee... it set the default audio to analog and now all audio works (this didn't work in alpha). So it seems that calling it analog works, even for mkvs! thanks for listening.
