Hey Dave,
let me give you my opinion.
Hi Louigi, I was waiting for your input. :)
Some short replies:
Lack of support for contemporary hardware. - probably, although I have
no data as to how big the problem is
I've found a simple metric. Just open a Sweetwater catalog to the pages
for computer audio interfaces and count the ones with Linux support.
Confusion re: desktops, and GUI toolkits. - i am
confused as to why
that would be a problem with linux audio
Problem for the developers, not so much for users.
I would have to comment more on the latter. I don't think it is bad or
unavoidable to have fragmentation and conflict. This is natural for
most human interaction. The problem, in my view, is that there are so
few developers (compared to, say, Windows Audio). And because there
are so few devs, fragmentation becomes a problem, since each developer
is then just a one man project with a small audience.
Good point, thank you for the input.
Best,
