The most important aspect of Linux audio.

Textually:

"Why do you feel open source is important, and what for you is the most
important aspect of Linux audio?

Because I just don't trust proprietary code. Call me paranoid, but in
reality I'm just lazy :) I like to know that somebody, somewhere, and
preferably me, has read the code that I execute. But this is only one
reason. I find the proprietary world a PITA of dongles, cracks download
sites and talkative installers. I prefer to talk to the coding team
through a bugtracker than to "contact technical services". I want to
re-install a studio machine in one command that will pull everything I
need ; I want to spend more time doing just music.

It's basic hygiene. I use FLOSS, I write FLOSS code, and that's it."


So then what's wrong with proprietary code in Linux, etc, etc.
