Is anyone aware of what might be the best open source audio mixing package to start hacking something like the Castblaster that is aurally (partly) described where ? http://homepage.mac.com/dailysourcecode/DSC/DSC-2005-04-25.mp3 Any hints to shorten the devel cycle for a project like this would be gratefully appreciated. I'm chasing up some funding to hopefully subsidise a developer if one wants to get involved. No, tweaking PD is not my idea of getting aunt tillie into podcasting on linux, she needs a lightbulb that "just works" :-) --markc
