This is a really good point. I mean, how many of the people on 
linux-*user* have written to the kernel people making noise? How many 
even know how to do that? I know I don't, and I know tons of musicians 
are just starting to take a serious look at linux in the last year, so 
the groundswell is starting to happen. ( Thanks to everyone on here whoo 
hoo! ) Letter writing works. If you guys put a page up or a post on all 
related forums explaining to us newbies and end users what kind of noise 
we should make and how to make it politely and intelligently so it adds 
weight to your request, I suspect a lot of people would be happy to 
oblige, and I have a hard time believing it wouldn't have an effect. I 
mean who doesn't want their work to be the world's best platform for 
something?

Thanks
Iain
