I know what you mean and I agree.

BUT: I wanted to see a page which offers a central place to link to all 
the other resources and to collect various stuff related to linux 
audio.

Why? If a user wants to start with linux as an audio machine he'll find 
lots of information using google. But he will have to google a lot to 
get an overview over a certain aspect of his audio system.

That was my intention. A central web page which contains useful 
information and links to further resources from the subpages.

If you search a certain audio application, you'll certainly visit dp's 
great page. BUt where do you start if you need info about configuring 
your USB sound card? Where can you learn how to build a 2.6.12 audio 
enabled kernel?

I often see useful information in this list, and I keep it in a private 
notebook on my machine. I'd prefer to put it into a wiki for later 
personal use and make the community benefit from my work.

I do not want to divide, I want to help grow the community.


Best regards
