To summarize:
1. LAD should be an access point for all linux audio developers
Maybe, but its not. I'm not even sure it should be. There a lot of people
who just dont have time to read LAD,
If they have time to read slashdot, i'm sure they'll find time to read
LAD :)
and if there were even more
traffic then some existing subscribers would have to leave.
Lots of people have been reading LAD 'offline'.
LAD has its
own agenda that not all linux audio developers will agree with.
Could you explain?
LADSPA
-> Richard Furse. Although LADSPA is still _the_ example
of LAD people working together, we were not closing
in on any kind of solution in our discussions back
in 1999-2000. Richard went ahead and put the pieces
together, and ta-daa, we had a standard.
Lots of issues have been discussed before and after the standard
release. I guess there are significant contributions from at least Steve
and Paul.
It was before my time.
But you did contribute after?
"The original LADSPA proposal was included in an email to the Linux
Audio Developer Mailing List as part of an ongoing discussion on plugin
API design."
