What is it that makes people so harsh about Linux Audio? I don't for a second think that this attitude is something inherent to mailing list communication as I'm subscribed to various mailing lists that are perfectly civil. I'm beginning to think the idea of a "Linux Audio Community" is nothing more than a contrivance and that everyone is just cranky at being stuck together in some broken virtual elevator. Nonetheless, if "we" are so worried about promoting Linux Audio, then these lists are one of the few public points of exchange between developers, the existing user base, and potential new users. If every conversation devolves into bitter and pointed tit for tats who the hell would stick around? Not great "marketing" I have to say. Back to the topic at hand, the fairlight website doesn't give any detail at all into how linux is used in their systems. I can't find any recent info but their FPGA cards seem to run on Windows XP so unless they have developed new drivers it may be that linux is not involved in the plugin process at all. I only posted out of technical curiosity more than anything in the hope someone knew something more about their systems. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
