Linux-based pocket platforms, and the entire embedded world  
(particularly for audio-specific tasks), on the other hand, is a  
different story.  I could care less about Desktop linux audio, since  
POCKET linux audio just plain rocks, and what better place to be  
doing music-related tasks than in the pocket, on the bus, in a  
different studio every day, etc.  The Desktop is over; if you can't  
carry it with you, get rid of it.  :)

(Yes, I'm being troll'ish.  But after 10 years of working in Linux,  
and pro-Audio, I can truly say that the only solution to the dilemna  
that I've seen actually be viable, is to wrap hardware around the  
issue...)
