I dont see the connection. linuxaudio.org (IMHO) is about providing
information about linux-audio-y things to outside orgainsiations. Its not
trying to herd all the developers in one direction.
Ad 1) Each and every organization is trying to herd people in one
direction. That's one purpose of an organization. It usually consists of
people who share the same goal.
Ad 2) that goal has be declared here --

Yup, and thats good too. I'm addicted to standards incase you havent
noticed :) the benefit of standards and specs is that you can go off and
do your own thing, in your own way, but it will still work wither other
peoples stuff.
Standards are often well promoted. At least they have a dedicated site
with (to some extent) centralised information.
Good. I
/like/ the current (lack of) linux audio community. Its not like
we're one homogenous organisation. Were just a bunch of people who hack
linux audio systems. Its great :)
The only real connection we have is that were all doing audio hacking
under linux - some are using GTK and C, some Qt and C++, some python...
Right. And most people do use linux audio standards - JACK, LADSPA,
ALSA. And lots of people from here talk about them and make them better. I think
the linux audio world is too small and varied to have a tightly
knit organisation like the Gnome guys.
But.. why are you participating in linuxaudio.org then? Seriously, i
don't understand, no sarcasm.
