Ok, I didn't know that, there's really little information about adding
.bbs without own git access.
So, ok.

Euphony is a application that can load interfaces and soundfonts to
create virtual music-instruments.
It's desinged for mobile touchscreendevices (although it of course
runs on every linux system) such as openmoko phones.
You can see it as a kind of game or creative tool to have fun. :)
It's basically the sucessor of "epiano" which already lies in OE in
openmoko-3rdparty (it's not really openmoko specific, so euphony does
not have to be in there), only it is far more advanced and supports
multiple instruments.

I'd like to have it added to OE to give others the chance to build it
without messing around with 3rd-party .bbs, specifically the OM
community, but also all others with (even more suitable) embedded
platforms that use openembedded (beagleboard, gumstix, ...).

Btw. - if you like you can replace the epiano.bb (which was written by
me and included by mickeyl) with this.
