1) (care of lincoln spiteri):

2) Android audio is unusable for anything related to music creation or
pro-audio.
The incredibly long bug report on this leaves me with only one
feeling: Android's
master's don't care. If they don't care, its hard for me to.
You make very relevant points here and they are hard to argue against.
There is a bigger picture though. The performance of device such as the ASUS
and Lenovo quad core tablets means android does not need to be relegated to remotecontrol.
I still fully acknowledge the issues of android's masters and audio creation. The
thing is that the same issues never stopped Linux audio from developing,LAD/LAU laid the
grounds for things that the kernel developers are finally embracingand that the Android
people will also be forced to address.
Perhaps Android will remain another world but I don't see any other development
thatreally puts linux so close to mainstream, and it is being ignored by pretty much the
wholeof LAD/LAU. It is fast becoming a missed opportunity - as soon as Android resolves
itsissues of real-time then the commercial audio companies will invade the space, they
havealready expressed that desire and that will leave Linux audio in even more of a
niche.
