If you wish to see one day every Linux desktop PC with
realtime audio
working right just to play an simple audio file... You'll have to wait
quite a long time :-p
Linux-based pocket platforms, and the entire embedded world
(particularly for audio-specific tasks), on the other hand, is a
different story. I could care less about Desktop linux audio, since
POCKET linux audio just plain rocks, and what better place to be
doing music-related tasks than in the pocket, on the bus, in a
different studio every day, etc. The Desktop is over; if you can't
carry it with you, get rid of it. :)
(Yes, I'm being troll'ish. But after 10 years of working in Linux,
and pro-Audio, I can truly say that the only solution to the dilemna
that I've seen actually be viable, is to wrap hardware around the
issue...)
