Please allow me to express my deepest gratitude and respect for all you've done to build the Linux audio community from nothing into a formidable platform by providing an invaluable resource for all to use. For that matter, instead of a pint, we all ought to raise an entire keg! ;-) Hope you can still participate in the Linuxaudio.org matters. We sure could use your wisdom and insight! Best wishes, Ico
