Even he agreed that in future more and more people
would be
using open source music programs. Excellent! I wish I could
have pointed him to a hardware compatability list so that
when selling his gear to customers he could tell them which
could also be used with open source software. Does anyone
know of a good list?
Unfortunately we still have no central point where users get a
good start about supported hardware and an overview over the
most important software.
A wiki would be cool. There's already one at
alsa.opensrc.org
but it's alsa specific.
Furthermore there's the card matrix at
http://alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/
but I do not know how up-to-date it is.
