Ok, let's admit we lack some tools. So does Blender as far as video
production is concerned ! That's the point actually. Each project brings
it's share of improvements to the software used for production.
And as far as soundfonts are concerned, last time I checked, the gig format
was supported in Linuxsampler... :p
;)
Certainly !

people, in
fact they already have people for audio it seems (Jan
Morgenstern). Looking at the content of his studio, it's certainly not a
FLOSS-oriented choice (http://www.wavemage.com/studio-en.html)... My
point
was, why isn't the Linux Audio community involved ?
I concur that we should get involved.
I talked with Ton from the Blender foundation a year ago and he was very
very interested in using FLOSS tools for that process. However..
We have all the necessary tools,
I don't think that's true. The two main remaining issues are 'good
soundfonts' especially for the Orchestra of movie soundtracks.
5.1 mixing is the second problem.
The latter is not necessarily a show-stopper. To mix-down one usually
hires a cinema dediated to mixing/mastering, with appropriate equipment.
- At least that's what I did for the film-soundtracks I've done with LA
and the blender foundation seems to be able to afford that. they have ways
to find people to produce
content...
That is (or was) not the main point of Blender's goals. They want(ed) to
push their 3D/Video engine and hiring someone who does the complete
soundtrack was much easier for them. - But that's where LA could come it
