If I may add my two cents in... One of the things I have noticed, and one of the things I like most about this group, is the fact that Linux audio development is one of the most coordinated and communicative of all of the different dev groups throughout OSS and Free Software. Now, for my part, being a web developer who can't really do DSP or audio programming, I have been working on support and infrastructure projects. That's my way of getting involved. Some other folks are users and testers, and some help out with writing the tons of documentation needed. My point is, though, that we all talk to each other. Okay, I'll stop now. :-) -- Darren Steve Harris wrote: > Hmm... some random train of thought stuff... in the words of > someone-or-other: sorry its long, I didn't have time to make it any > shorter. > > Speaking for myself, I havent tried Audio* yet, theres no good reason > for that, I just dont have /any/ free time at the moment.
