Well, if you can tolerate the occasional bug, you can of course also use
that in your pilot. It provides some really nice new features compared
to 0.3 that might actually be interesting for you like context aware
scenario and even microphone selection.

But again, don't expect it to be 100 % crash free yet.

On a related topic, I would also greatly appreciate it if you could open
bugs for all the "instabilities" you find / found on
https://bugs.kde.org.

Nelson Neto is probably the best guy to talk to over there about this.
I'll send you his contact information off list.
