[linux-audio-dev] Python

[Bradford Garton]

If you are contemplating a lot of audio synth/dsp tasks using python, you 
might want to take a look at RTcmix -- you can build it with a python 
front-end:

 	http://rtcmix.org/

open-source, cross-platform of course!

Disclaimer:  I don't use the python option myself, but several of the 
other RTcmix developers use it almost exclusively.
