Hi all,
This is an interesting point. One side of me thinks, "awesome, this
solves the problem", but another side of me feels a little weird about
requiring an entire customised OS to run audio software. Now,
personally, I use my studio box just for audio, but I know some other
posters on the list said that it should not be a requirement to use a
computer just for audio stuff. I do agree here.
To me, the integration issue seems largely a distribution problem.
Issues such as making sound servers, LADSPA, Ardour and Jack talk
together still seem difficult to solve. As I said before, the
canonical test is to simply install Ardour and Jack and get it to
work. Making this work and then using LADSPA and other bits still
requires some knowledge of the infrastructure.
Demudi is a Custom Debian Distribution. In part that means that the
efforts made within demudi are intended to be fed back into the main
distro. Demudi could/should be seen as the testing and proving ground
for figuring out how to make all that stuff "just work" within the
larger Debian framework. Much of the work done on demudi has already
led to improvements on the audio front in mainstream debian.
Thanks so much for the great feedback everyone. :)
likewise.
