Thanks to Matthew Garrett for pointing out that GLib 2.14 will have API for creating timers with second granularity (instead of millisecond): g_timeout_add_seconds(). This means that multiple timers scheduled to go off at roughly the same time will be fired at once, resulting in power savings.

I'm pleased to see this land in GLib, and can't wait for GLib 2.14 now as it is looking really good: GRegex and GSequence in particular are interesting new additions.

In Sound Juicer news, Luca Cavalli has ported the gedit/Epiphany plugin code to SJ. It's definitely work in progress at the moment, but it is coming together nicely. Follow #311688 if you want to keep up with the changes. The first two plugins I'd like to see from both feature and proof of concept angles are more complete CD playback controls (repeat and random), and downloading of album cover art.
