Both bugs are fixed. Mono is played back on both channels, and the buzz is 
gone. Thanks a lot.

(There's a missing #include <QPair> in core/DiskIO.h in cvs at the moment.)

I realized that it isn't that much to change at all. I updated the compile 
section and added a section about the default recording format. I'll see that 
the screenshots are up to date and in English, and probably the export and 
CD-burning sections will change a little due to new formats and dialogs. 
Anything else I should mention?

I think I can do it alone, but I would appreciate if you could review it when 
it's done.

Ok, but if noone volunteers, let me know.

I'll add the missing colors, but if you have ideas for polishing, feel free to 
apply them. As for Gnome, AFAIK the brownish colors are Ubuntu specific, so 
the Ubuntu theme would probably look out of place on other distributions. 
This screenshot shows Fedora 8, I'm not sure if it's the default look, 
though:

But using the ubuntu theme as default in an ubuntu package would be nice 
indeed.
