Why don't you start by persuading yourself to provide whatever you do 
for free, etc? It's easy to insist that others should do free work for 
you. But are you ready to do full time hard work for free for the others?

Brilliant idea. Someone else should pay to somebody else so that you can 
get Linux audio software for free. What about paying for the software 
yourself?


About the original subject: IMHO the only way to attract more Linux 
audio developers is paying for the software. Money is the reason why 90% 
of people do any work. Practically all professional audio software 
developers do they work for Win/Mac because the _paying_ customers use 
them. Linux audio software is being developed by amateurs because there 
is no market for professional developers.
