I'm workingquite often at the FPGA level interface and such so I do not see anymajor hindrance for delivering deep, rich sounds with Linux software,as long as the hardware can deliver it. > There shouldn't be a problem getting at least as good sound out of a > softsynth, provided someone actually takes the time to tune the DSP > to perfection and program a set of really good sounds.

Too often I read that x card is supported in Linuxonly to find out that the guys managed to get bytes out of it andthat's it. Just to be sure: I'm all for Linux and Open Source.
