WHOA! Great contribution! Thank you so much! Well, now I see we have
plenty of options! I am just interested in the different options we
have. Thanks for the fluendo tip! It is great. And all those commercial
alternatives!

I will, some day, for my band, now that I think about it, set up a

3 of them.
