Oh dear... Please note that Linuxaudio.org offer does *not* suggest moving to forums. Again, let me repeat, it does *not* suggest moving to forums. It suggests moving the existing mailing lists LAD/LAU/LAA, so that they are hosted under Linuxaudio.org. They would still remain the same lists with same subscribers and same features. The only difference is that we would have them under the Linuxaudio.org umbrella. Namely, we would have linux-audio-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx etc., instead of linux-audio-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx But also, more importantly, these as well as any other relevant lists that end-up being consolidated, would be found under *one* *single* URL: lists.linuxaudio.org. And that, in and of itself in my book (and I am sure in a book of any newcomer to Linux audio) would be truly priceless. Best wishes, Ico
