Re: [linux-audio-user] What purpose does this list serve?

This is so-called "usage" and this is linux-audio-*user* so anything that is related to such underdeveloped aproaches to audible arts is relevant here is it not? Linux is not only about technology and industry - it is about freedom. And to be relevant at all it depends on usage. If people exercize freedom by playing music to their liking and using Linux to do so (beside their guitars, voices, amps, beatboxes etc.) then Linux will thrive and do the good that was intended as the 4 freedoms where declared in the first place. Despite my sarcastic tone, my answers are not meant to be destructive. best regards see you in Berlin ;-)
