<div dir="ltr"><div>> 1) (care of lincoln spiteri):<br>> http://subversion.ardour.org/svn/thirdparty/ardroid/<br>> <br>> 2) Android audio is unusable for anything related to music creation or<br>> pro-audio.<br>> The incredibly long bug report on this leaves me with only one<br>> feeling: Android's<br>> master's don't care. If they don't care, its hard for me to.<br><br></div><div>You make very relevant points here and they are hard to argue against.</div><div><br></div><div>There is a bigger picture though. The performance of device such as the ASUS<br>and Lenovo quad core tablets means android does not need to be relegated to remote</div><div>control. I still fully acknowledge the issues of android's masters and audio </div><div>creation. The thing is that the same issues never stopped Linux audio from developing,</div><div>LAD/LAU laid the grounds for things that the kernel developers are finally embracing</div><div>and that the Android people will also be forced to address.</div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps Android will remain another world but I don't see any other development that</div><div>really puts linux so close to mainstream, and it is being ignored by pretty much the whole</div><div>of LAD/LAU. It is fast becoming a missed opportunity - as soon as Android resolves its</div><div>issues of real-time then the commercial audio companies will invade the space, they have</div><div>already expressed that desire and that will leave Linux audio in even more of a niche.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards, nick.</div></div>
