Hi Paul

I am the main Ayyi Project developer.

I sincerely hope that the use of your code hasn't caused any offence.

The project is not intended to be competitive with Ardour and is likely
to remain merely a proof-of-concept. If I you have any objections, please
let me know as I would be very keen to accommodate you. For example if you
dislike the use of the name "ardourd", I will change that.

We have had conversations on LAD and IRC but we just have very different
ideas about what a DAW should be. I have a great deal of respect for
Ardour and all the great work you and others have done and ideally I would
very much like to contribute, something that a more modular approach would
help with.
