   not that long ago it wasn't even that. The sound/audio/music software 
in linux is improving rapidly. obviously, you get the by geeks for geeks 
stuff first because it cannot be any other way - it takes time to make 
the program stable enough to be usable by general public.

   plus it's not only about individual apps, everything from kernel to 
hw drivers to libraries to apps is being developed, it takes a lot of 
effort and time to make it work together. And it's not always pretty:-)

   I guess you know that but your email lacks the acknowledgement of the 
tendency (even though it accurately describes current state), so I 
thought I'd add some perspective.
