Well, I'm sadly not a developer, but using GNU/Linux I learnt to promote
it between the w$ users, and I guess we've all have learnt that. Why not
just simply apply the same reasoning to the Linux Audio world? 
As a scratch, this is what I will start "preaching" for now on:

* Want audio on GNU/Linux? Use ALSA + jack _directly_.
* Distros like Linspire are already doing it (¿in the same way that Suse
did with ALSA?) Why aren't you??? (in a polite way, of course :-P)
* More stuff like that.

It's simple, and we as a LA* comunity have our contacts with each part
of the libre software world. Just a matter of starting preaching it, I
guess...
