Again. What is your point? Many people use Linux Audio tools and 
infrastructure for professional use everyday.

All you are saying is that Linux is difficult for you and your friends 
to use and Microsoft is easy.

Why do you insist on continually saying this to the LAD list? We know 
that there are limitations to the Linux Audio system. No one has ever 
claimed otherwise.

Because you very rarely have useful feedback, as far as I can tell, you 
are a troll.
