Absolutely. WINE is very useful for crossover environments and the work that has been done in this area is awesome, but IMO a potential distraction. Native GNU/Linux tools using common protocols and standards (like ALSA/JACK/LADSPA) are the way to go, otherwise we will simply maintain our reliance on proprietary vendors. The day I can afford this entry-level Windows software, I shall be sending my money to the LADs with feature requests instead. I find it a much better investment of my time and energy right now. Obviously YMMV, but it does have to be said. cheers, tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk/tim
