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
don't want to see linux apps turning into slickly hyped lifestyle
products like the rest of the music software business. We should push
the advantages we have,
What advantages? Free as in beer? I've never seen such inapt community btw,
which is totally ignorant in
organizing itself. See the gnome community which started to exist the
same year. They have more conferences per year, one of them being
huge(guadec) with sponsors, larger companies involved, and *most* of
*all* they're a centralised community.
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...
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.
