AFAIK DeMuDi existed before Agnula (which is the funded project) and both are 
likely to continue pretty much hand in hand once the funding ends in ?April. 
The project doesn't look likely to come to a sudden end, more likely just 
open up a bit more.

I don't really have a big enough / fast enough box to compile my own, or that 
much experience doing it that way. Using the Agnula packages has given me a 
way of at least looking at the applications everyone is talking about. Even 
if they don't all work 100% properly, yet. I've been having great fun 
spinning softsynths through Jack-Rack, but I'm still having problems to get 
really useable results from MusE, Rosegarden or Ardour (as I say, Yet). My 
standards are probably rather high. This is a combination of my lack of 
understanding & probably slightly dodgy config & the immaturity of these 
apps. I'm confident that all these factors will change over the course of the 
year. There may be certain apps that I need to compile specifically for the 
system. Swami may be one, I'm probably most concerned about using original 
sound patches and the Debian package 'smurf' does not work.

I'm going to stick with my Agnula unstable / Sarge system for now & see how it 
goes.

cheers
