Hi Patrick,

I reviewed it not too long ago:

    
http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/introducing-lmms-linux-multimedia-studio

I gave a fairly positive review *except* wrt its performance. Frankly, 
it was pretty poor regardless of the driver (and I tested it with its 
ALSA, OSS, and SDL drivers). I like its concept and design, but until it 
has seamless JACK support it remains a toy.

Can't say I blame the devs for switching it over to Windows, especially 
if they're not going to bring its JACK support up to speed.

There's a thread on LMMS over at KVRaudio. It's mostly concerned with 
the eye candy, they're not responding to any queries re: JACK, so I'm 
not hopeful about its development for Linux. And yes, they do refer to a 
name change in the near future.

Best,
