Hi N:

It's a good question, and it's obviously stumped the crowd at LAU. ;)

I'm not sure why there's apparently little interest, but I'll hazard a 
few guesses:

  1) There aren't enough developers working on advancing, stabilizing, 
and maintaining the system.

  2) It's not so simple to bolt LASH on to an existing app as it is to 
do the same with JACK.

  3) Not enough users are interested.

These are *guesses*, not facts. Perhaps one of the devs listening on on 
LAU will enlighten us ?  :)

Best,
