 Darn!  I wish we had some way to collect all this information about
 noise, low latency and other system configuration issues somewhere.
 Finding what works and what doesn't from searching mailing list
 archives is difficult and frustrating.

 I'm imagining some sort of web database of system hardware and
 software configurations with some indication of associated latency,
 reliability, and noise levels.  It would be interesting to look for
 patterns in the data.

 I wonder if the Bugzilla bug tracking software recently discussed on
 ardour-dev could be adapted to collect this kind of information?  Or,
 maybe it would be better to just put up a custom form on the web.

I imagine that at some stage someone is going to start going through the 
archives and collating this information. I am in the process of adding a 
rating system to the alsa soundcard matrix which could serve as the 
place to display it.

I have the basic page ready now (learnt how to do php classes properly 
last night too :). I need access to the mysql server on the alsa site 
before I will start working on the code for the system.

I appreciate if people would give me some ideas on what they would like 
to see represented.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! 
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything 
I've ever done.
