The first "too long" mission statement is obviously not true, because there are many instances provided each day of people helping each other out and many examples posted of music that people created with linux audio. It is a caricature of this bus's destination that everyone is afraid could be the landing place. It is not a good idea to throw people off the bus before deciding where the bus is headed. Linux audio is at a critical juncture that is similar to a band which has been together for several years that has written great songs but hasn't had a 'hit' yet. Linux audio has come a long way since the GUS soundcard, but other solutions in the marketplace are also very good and have come a long way too. At this time, it is appropriate to return the roots of what we are doing and be reminded of why we are here. It is very tough in this era of iTunes where everyone is looking for a megahit to be reminded that it is quite fine just to be the best you can be. It should be something worth doing, because it will be very difficult getting there from here. -Mike _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
