Yes, an open, simple to do and understand format for DAWS. Video might come in
some time in the future.
What I am interested in could be made by simplest application in an editor.
Byte-boundaries in audio files (that's how Cakewalk does it) would require
software, at least to show the boundaries for entry. MIDI files could be
accessed by track and times rather than raw or hex data. Also there are MIDI
assembly languages around.
What I have in mind is not overly ambitious, not an attempt to solve the
world's advanced authoring needs in a huge expensive and propietary manner.
I would still like to see the spec, DTD or some outline of the schema. But I
am interested in opensource!
It seems a bit sad that any Linux advocate should be
backing this
operation, it would cost about $1500 per year to get access to any kind of
support for the SDK or advice on best practices and cosiderably more if you
really want to participate. You could stump up $175 per year yourself to
propose changes as long as you can find somebody paying the full price or
more to back you. It is a commercial directive not an open movement. From a
perspective of Linux audio it is already a pain that the Midi Manufacturers
Association want cash for their specifications.
So is the argument for this specification will be 'the professional
applications will be using it' hence it becomes the standard?
The whole specification is delivered outside of a GPL, products using its
specifications are expected to pay royalty licensing and as such should not
be advocated as a part of any open source movement.
The proposal here was for an open format, not a closed consortium format,
the difference may be subtle and is apparantly lost on some people.

http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user Wonderfully, the linux audio opensource field has
become nicely
populated.
Opensource means freedom of choice. One is not
tied to that $400
proprietary
bloated DAW program. Comes jack and one can
dissect the functionality
and
network smaller pieces (if one's system can
handle the multiple
processes).
Trememdous freedom of choice.
Problem is: No DAW program, opensource or otherwize, interoperates with
any
other. Cakewalk works with Cakewalk, Cubase with
Cubase, Ardour with
Ardour,
etc. Each has its strengths and each has its
adherents. Never the
'twain
do
meet. (Lash is fine but the restriction
remains.)
Proposal: OpenDAWS.
its actual name is AAF-XML. please google it.
