Re: [linux-audio-user] OT: FUD or not? what is your opinion?

My apologies, Ico, I didn't intend to critique the community's efforts (or your own work). What dismays me is the lack of any energy from *outside* the LA community directed *towards* the community. And considering some of the heavy weights connected to Linux today, I really have to wonder why this status remains quo. Example: IBM does audio hardware, they also do Linux in a big way, and they have real industry clout. IBM can offer real material assistance to Linux audio devs, but afaik they don't. Why not ? They can deal with SCO's nonsense but can't fund a Linux audio project ? While I'm pleased that IBM does support the general community, I have to wonder just how aware they are of the LA communities. Any lurkers from IBM who want to add to these comments ? Curmudgeonly, dp
