That was one h*ll of a comment! But I'll chime in: The problem is not
production cost. The problem is (from a salesmans point of view) what

People pay for ease of use! It is not so different from using session-
players that know their stuff. At least not costwise.

singing the soprano is a task I would not like to know ;) ]
No, it's not hard because there are a lot of
skilled people around, but
the card would be expensive. There was a thread about a project of "open
source" graphic card recently on lkml.
And I posted a [possibly OT] rant to that thread about how this was a
waste of time and how you could REALLY make a killing with open sound
hardware.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/10/23/292 I got one "right on, brother" response via
private mail and that was it.
But then again half the kernel guys don't have sound cards in their
machines ;-)
So much for the "Mp3 is killing the Industri" myth then? :))
