Hi Louigi,

in my opinion this is more of a rant than an overview. The few positive
points that you made are well hidden. I do agree with some points and
disagree with others.

Just as a small example, the connection graph you show is not
complicated.If you would show the internal routing of a windows DAW as
such a graph it would likely be more complicated. The difference here
is that it is made more explicit and easier to follow in patchage.

Anyway, I personally would not recommend this overview to someone who
asked me about the state of Linux Audio. I do not believe that the
situation is as grim as you paint it.

Regards,
Philipp
