I think this position has less to do with "professional" audio and
more to do with desktop/mainstream/consumer audio, i.e to ensure
proper planning with the audio and multimedia subsystem of the Ubuntu
operating system according to tried and tested "standards" with
regards to sound and the Linux kernel + userland tools/programs. But
of course, there can be good byproducts if the person hired is equally
good.
