I have been told by a director at DigiDesign that ProTools will never be
open source friendly. They have a pool of developers who custom build,
and that is the way it will always continue.
None of these marketing-driven hardware/software companies will ever be
open source friendly, it's a threat to their business model. Open
drivers make it impossible for your marketing department to lie about
the capabilities of the hardware. For example, google for "Fraudigy".
Hopefully not buying that hardware will end up being the real threat
to that business model.
Not meaning that Digidesign hardware isn't top class, of course...
Cordially, Ismael
