Sorry it was taken in an insulting way. I have a lot of respect for what you guys have done and do. I would gladly pay (you) for software that is relevant to me.
I don't think the code is a mess at all. It runs very efficiently...I had to master an 18 minute track and it did the processing and file creating in around 20 seconds. Sure, I could break things off into more functions and name variables more descriptively.
I know it will not make money, but some of the effects, however, may be sellable as AU or VST plug-ins. Still, I'd rather just focus on Linux development.
If my software is irrelevant than no one should care about the source code, no?
If your feelings are pretty much the general feeling here then I will go.
