 Now that the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FedoraStudio
 FedoraStudio feature] is [https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/191
 accepted by FESCo] we are in need of new icons.
The Audio&Video/Multimedia desktop menu is being categorized. For each
 submenu entry we are requesting new icons. Some are pretty
 straightforward, whereas some are more left to imagination.
Currently for the [http://oget.fedorapeople.org/multimedia-menus/ test
 package], I borrowed icons from other projects. I will replace these icons
 with the ones produced here.
Here is a list of what we need and some explanation:
* Capture&Import icon: This is a general group of applications for
 capturing/importing all sorts of media: Audio streams, Video streams,
 sound recording with a mic, ripping CD's DVD's, TV broadcasts...
* Creation icon: An icon for the top menu which will contain other media
 creation applications listed below. Very open to imagination :)
* Digital processing icon: This group contains audio/video effect
 applications. Synthesizer applications. An idea for the icon would be a
 foot pedal musicians use (like a distortion pedal).
* Editors icon: Audio editors, video editors, soundfont editors...
 Basically, applications that can be use existing data to create some
 output.
* Jack icon: JACK (Jack Audio Connection Kit) using applications. These
 are wide range applications, primarily used for audio creation. An audio
 jack connector (like the one you plug into the electric guitar) is an idea
 for the icon.
* MIDI icon: MIDI using applications. Again wide range, but a MIDI
 keyboard sounds like an idea.
* Sequencer/Multitrack recorder icon: An icon for the group of multitrack
 sequencers, digital audio workstations.
* Notation icon: Icon for the group of musical notation applications.
* Mixer icon: Group of software mixers. Like pulseaudio control, kmix,
 gnome mixer...
* Output generation icon: Very wide range and quite open to imagination.
 The applications that are covered by this group are audio/video streamers,
 format changers, CD/DVD burners, subtitle editors. In terms of
 functionality, this one is kind of opposite to the "Capture&Import" group.
* Tools icon: Helper applications that usually do not do anything with
 multimedia data. Such as instrument tuner, metronome...
* Player icon: An icon for audio/video players group.
This makes 12 icons. I know it is a long list but is there a chance we can
 have these by F-12?
Very many thanks!
