Re: [LAU] Audio Distribution Proposal...

I'm of course just dreaming here, if this was realistic one would think somebody would have built this already, not only for audio software but for all kinds... maybe this already exists? Letting the distro experts worry about stability, hardware support and so on while upstream (or volunteers :) package their apps should in my opinion work as a way to ease the work for the distros and make recent software available. (Feel free to bash this idea, it's only a loose vision I got while surfing Freshmeat a while back, not anything I'm prepared to start as I'm not that much of an expert really). -- Raine M.
