I think he is pointing to a weak point of closed

especially if there is a bug which is fixed by JACK experts more easy
and better. Because of being a close source app, it's obvious that there
is little JACK devs can do in this case if they don't provide more
information about the problem.
I know it's a totally valid point, but I believe some people (not
torbenh) loves being able to shake off all responsibility and at same
time comming out on top as the all-good-opensource-heros with a
statement like that.
So this was not saying torbenh is this kinda guy. And it might be me,
but I feel that every time a closed source app is discussed around here,
there's always this tone of lack of respect for both the app and the
guys using them. Which is a great shame, esp considering renoise is the
most stable piece of software I ever ran and IMHO the most rounded
musical application available under linux. I would love an open source
app, but there just aren't many options (without sacrificing both
features and stability). For me it's really like I pay 40 euro and can
concentrate on what it's all about.
But again it might just be me, and this was, as I said, not really an
accuse against torbenh, I guess it was just a "drop made my cup overflow"...
Sorry for the rant :-)
