Hey everyone!
Thx for the comments so far!
Joel: yeah, I did not go there. In a way, you don't notice ALSA and PulseAudio when it just works and it feels like the "default" parts of the system. So I did not mention them. But both ALSA and PulseAudio are definitely extremely important in the world of Linux Audio. As I said in the overview, it is impossible to mention everything, so I am happy to read some comments here.
Philipp: Haha. Well, I do hope that the text is structured and laid out in language that does suggest an intelligent discourse rather than just a rant. Also, it is an overview. Something is considered an overview not whether it gives an impression of disagreeing, but whether it really tries to look at many aspects and create an overall conclusion.
"Just as a small example, the connection graph you show is not complicated".
I did not say that it is more complicated that in a typical all-in-one DAW. I said it is complicated to be set up manually each time. So, I write, it is better to use a script.
That not all people would find the situation the same is expected. If you have time, I would appreciate several bullet points on what you feel are too grim points that I make. No need to spend too much time on this, but I would be happy to know your opinion on the subject.

Hi Louigi,
in my opinion this is more of a rant than an overview. The few positive
points that you made are well hidden. I do agree with some points and
disagree with others.
Just as a small example, the connection graph you show is not
complicated.If you would show the internal routing of a windows DAW as
such a graph it would likely be more complicated. The difference here
is that it is made more explicit and easier to follow in patchage.
Anyway, I personally would not recommend this overview to someone who
asked me about the state of Linux Audio. I do not believe that the
situation is as grim as you paint it.
Regards,
Philipp
