Tim, You recently posted: > WINE is very useful for crossover environments and the work that has been > done in this area is awesome, but IMO a potential distraction. Certainly WINE is not optimized for audio --- no question about that. Speaking of distractions. Let's admit it: Linux audio is chock full of distractions, including such things as: Why isn't this compiling? Why is my system locking up requiring a cold reboot? How bad is the resulting file damage from using MuSE and jackd together with a 3-D ATI driver which necessitated a cold reboot? Why can't I hear anything? What was the name of that damn program again? How did I connect that up the last time? Linux Audio has a *lot* of distractions. Some might even say it's nothing but distractions, but I have found GNU/Linux to be an excellent research platform not only for audio, but also for other fields. Regards, Dave.
