Thanks Vincent.

Your reply is appreciated. 

However I have been involved in the ardour lists for over 2 years. I
have spent much time reading about potential problems and responded to
all those that have had the courtesy to respond. I have also learnt and
spent much time investigating problems that have nothing to do with the
production of music.. simply to try and help developers iron out
problems.. Credit goes to some who have especially Takashi Iwai, Robert
Jonsson, Tommi Ilmonen and a few others. 

If you look back into archives a couple of years back alot of
development into inclusion of MIDI sync was added to some softwares
(especially MusE) to accomodate users like myself who depend on this
sync to make software compatible with real studios. 

BUT. In the last few weeks I have spent much time into trying to
configure and compile ardour (the potentially greatest audio recording
software available to us) but all my responses after I sent an opinion
to the string "ahem" concerning Steinberg having produced (but not
released) versions of their commercial softwares under our much loved
platform, have been completely ignored.. except this one.. 

My responses have not been ignorant nor lacking in information. As I
mentioned I have spent much time learning about the Linux platform and
contributing when I can ... 

My annoyance is when it was asked of me to provdie more information and
I did .. no response came.. then when I tried to resolve it myself and
no further response came that's when I could only put 2 & 2 together and
see that a response I made to the string "ahem" could have been related 

cheers

  I'm not a "real coder" either (so one
might argue I shouldn't be on
 linux-audio-dev, but I'm just interested in the discussions), so I think
 I understand the root cause of your grief.

 I think if (if) the Ardour developers are _expecting_ quality feedback
 from normal users (not just programmers) at this stage, they should
 provide tarballs of the stable CVS snapshots they want to be tested.

 But maybe they want to wait for 1.0 before letting endusers test it?
 In that case, maybe you tried to use it too early in its development ?
 I think they honestly appreciate your effort to participate, there
 should be no doubt about that, but maybe Ardour is still changing too
 rapidly for you to be able to track it.

 I think only the developers of Ardour can clear out this question.

 best regards,
 Vincent
