This story on the Wall Street Journal may be germain. It is about the Google philanthropy project and what it is they are attempting to do. A number of developers on this list have voiced in past postings of the need of financial support. I suspect that if a collective Linux Audio group were to approach google that funds might be available. http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB120058125428197687-h1yUGpkjCq0_vVoL_wEnZOaaqac_20080216.html?mod=tff_main_tff_top Please take time to check out the video. Hope this is of use.
