Why do you assume this? There are plenty of closed-source
applications and drivers running on top of Linux.
According to the May 2006 edition of Pro Audio
Review (Page 12, Column
1, Paragraph 3), the Midas XL8 Digital Console uses Linux: "Like many
other devices these days, the XL8 is built on a Linux platform, which
has proven to be both stable and secure, compared to other common
operating systems."
Any idea what audio interface it uses and where the source code can be
downloaded?
I just thought that it was a bit interesting.
Anyone want to take bets
on how long it will be before DigiDesign switches over? ;-)
That would be great, it would require them to open source their drivers.
