I sometimes search google news for what's in the news about linux and audio. Recently found this: What's up next in Linux desktop standardization? http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS5669466762.html It's about a recent OSDL Desktop Architects Meeting. Did LAD or LAU folks attend this meeting? Or does anyone here know about it? I've often wondered if OSDL had any interest in audio or music app's. Or gave much toward supporting its development. I don't know what to say, if anything, about the article but I do think it worth reading. I would like to hear comments by developers here. Marv in Lex KY
