BTW - I truly think that in the next 12-24 months Digi will release
PTLE for Linux. If they did they solve the hardware support problem
and have an advantage over anyone using other Linux tools with home
grown Alsa support. That would be pretty cool. If their normal release
policies applied then for $75 I'd have a 3rd OS to run on.
What digidesign should do, is to make their own specialized distribution
of linux to run protools with, and set up a list of recommended hardware.
Then they would solve various hardware- and software-issues running
protools on a PC, and they would automatically give back a lot
to the linux-community thru work on the protools linux distribution and
getting a bounchelibounch of new audio linux users.
But perhaps they won't do that, because more people will discover ardour
and won't use protools...
