Part of my point is that this wake-up call depends on the existence of an audience (even if only a small audience) that *wants* a wake-up call -- an audience that takes pleasure in getting smacked upside the head with something they never heard before. The wake-up call function of music may be a feature of this or that musical subculture, but I'm not sure that it has any meaning independent of a musical community that supports it. hjh _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
