Ok. Knowing these two things gives me a much broader understanding of 
where your coming from. You are already on the inside :)

What are GNU/FSF intending to provide support wise for this?

I would really like to see an organisation that represents Linux Audio 
and what you are proposing could be the correct way to do it. I'm not 
suggesting that this organisation would represent Linux Audio solely but 
that it could help us a lot.

Do you have anythign written up specifically on this? I couldn't find it 
after browsing your site.
