I'm so sorry to be the one to inject the reality (read: doom and gloom)
here... there's absolutely no way in hell Avid will ever hire/train or
otherwise enlist linux developers to create a whole freaking new
distro.... ever.

They're not in the OS business, and never will be... I was suggesting
the very remote and distant possiblity of a linux-embedded automated
console... not a distro.

I'll bet the house on this one -> DigiDesign will not become a linux
distributor/vendor.

We really should all be throwing our shoulders behind ardour, working to
make a DAW better than PT anyway.  Mark, maybe we should raise the issue
of PTLE interoperability on the ardour-dev list again?  Paul was open to
it when last it came up... it was just disecting that session
format/file standing in the way IIRC.
