I have been keeping my eye out for it, but no sign yet. Mark and his team are being very awesome about supporting musicians. Forest and I have been working on getting some more packages into Dapper before it ships. He's working on DSSI and some plugins for it like Hexter and FluidSynth, and I've had a fixed seq24 approved, as well as mx44 (which was based on Willem's initial work). Now I am packaging QMidiArp. I wanted to download LinuxSampler, but the original tarballs are 404s.. Not sure what I will work on after QMidiArp, possibly more of the missing apps from alsamodular.sf.net. I also packaged a new version of my studio launcher. Not sure who would find it useful, but I do, so I figured I may as well try and get it into Dapper too, for convenience's sake. But now all the installed apps that have .desktop files in the Audio category are listed, and it has a user-configurable blacklist and such. I spent about an hour or so improving it so it's almost not useless. :) Dana
