Many people already have trouble realizing that after opening qjackctl and setting it up they also have to start jack. While I personally had no problems with these ideas when I started out, I came from a CLI/cables and boxes background. Many new users have never even plugged a guitar/keyboard into an amp and even starting an audio server is new. Linux and Linux Audio are very flexable (I love it), but new people to the concept require support or will give up. Many ask a question on IRC and are gone in 60 seconds if no one answers, even with text when they join the channel that says wait. The Linux is no good comments from people are mostly for this reason. Very few of these people have done enough recording/producing to be frustrated with limits that an auto setup system gives them. -- Len Ovens www.ovenwerks.net
