Please show us a guide that demonstrated patchbay in a practical 
manner... !

At the end of the day I want a good code and a good documentation. You 
should agree with me that it is a pity if no one uses the app because of 
the lack of clear documentation and publicity.

Documentation is something you should think of if you made a program.... 
it the same as musicians, only play will in your own room is not enough 
when you want to play in front of people and/ or play with other people....

Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the work of the programmers... 
I'm totally dependent on them or Microsoft ;)
But I study social science and I know how important good explanation and 
publicity can be....

And yes, I made two short howto's last week and I planning to make more 
in dutch.... cause I can't stand that so less people knows the great 
possibilities of linux audio... It seems that this community makes the 
most open source software, but as a community they stay often 'closed' > 
e.g. just for the diehards and ICT students. Good documentation can 
change this a bit...
