For technical reasons AFAICS.
It is fast becoming a missed opportunity - as soon as
Android
resolves itsissues of real-time then the commercial audio
companies will invade the space, they havealready expressed
that desire and that will leave Linux audio in even more of
a niche.
As soon as I see and Android device with ADAT or MADI optical
interfaces, or anything wireless that provides a low-latency,
reliable and multichannel audio interface, I'll jump on it.
As long as it's only low-Q mic and earbuds on mini-jacks it's
just a toy as far as pro audio is concerned. And given the
target market of such devices it's likely to stay that way.
