this. Lao is not opposed to listing anyone on the linuxaudio.org site but in return
we ask that your project joins linuxaudio.org as that is how we can increase
our own support and consequently leverage for the overall linux audio
community. Linuxaudio.org hopes to unite all linux audio efforts (or perhaps I
should say linux multimedia efforts as some of our members’ software tools go
beyond aural) but it does so in a true spirit of the FOSS doctrine. All linux
audio (FOSS or not) projects are welcome to join but we obviously cannot force
anyone to do so, yet we would very much like to have all become a part of the
consortium. Please note that we judge membership eligibility solely based on
the project’s relevance to our mission rather than its choice of license,
meaning any linux multimedia project who wishes to join is eligible whether
that be a project by a corporation or an independent FOSS developer.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Same here, we lack a link to Gentoo's pro-audio overlay :-)<br>
