OK, so you say it has little to do with the equipment. So what's the 
point in making a difference between a 'professional' and an 
'amateur' Linux audio setup again? Policing a pro attitude? ;)

Forgive me the harsh word, but this is all useless BS. I have to admit 
I don't care if Linux audio is used by many or none, pro or ama; I 
don't care for world domination either. I have the tools I want, now 
is the time for me.

But all you out there who want to bring Linux audio to life for 
everyone, just put Jack at the heart of it and layer your precious 
desktop environments and what have you on top of that; this is your 
only sensible option.
