[linux-audio-dev] TAKE ACTION - RME customers and linux audio users please read

[mimo]

Hi Marek,

sounds like a good idea. I dont mind that this list is public. I think 
we should in all areas let the manufacturers see (and feel) that there 
is a strong linux community out there. And that this community will 
prefer manufacturers that provide it with development resources in one 
or the other form. After recent (non-rme, non-audio related) 
frustrations I think there are even good reasons to form some sort of 
platform or organisation for this. Something like a lobbying group but I 
am probably reinventing the wheel and that already exists.
