At the risk of being pedantic, what is wrong with the sound/audio section of
freshmeat?

It would be cool to have a similar audio specific site written by LAD types,
but I think it needs more of a unique angle to warrant the duplication of effort.

Dave's site is great because it is so low tech imho. 

I think for advocacy purposes and general coolness, it would be nice to have a
site devoted to linux _musicians_ where we can upload and compare tracks and
production methods. More of an extension of LAU...
