Hi.
This is a great idea, and a good educational video. I noticed a couple of
things I thought were maybe slightly wrong as I watched it - I don't suppose
you have a script you could show us, as that would make it easier to comment?
Also, I'm not sure it's best to call this 'Basics'. 'Fundamentals'
maybe would
be a better word. I would worry that it will look rather confusing and maybe
offputting if this is used to introduce people to Linux audio. Maybe the
first thing people see should be something a bit less theoretical, like a
walkthrough in Ardour or something?
I think it's an excellent overview of the underlying system though, well done
for doing it.

Hi,
because audio on linux is still a complicated thing for normal
users, and people like to watch videos with a glass of beer
in their hand, I thouht it would make sense to make some
tutorial videos.
I put the first one here:

On Mac or Win you should use VLC to play the video; media
player or quicktime do not play the video by default.
I have read the thread about the free music page, the same
problem with the videos: if there were some of them, it needs
webspace and bandwidth, so I do not know if I can make it a
successful project.
What I'm interested in is:
* is the video technically correct, or did I teach somethnig
completely wrong (I'm still a newbie to linux audio)?
* is it helpful for non-experienced users?
* do you think something like this should be done, or is it a
useless waste of time?
I can think of a lot further videos concerning linux audio as
well as other aspects of a linux system.
Any comments are really welcome, mainly the negative
ones ;-) .
Have fun,
