Is it a significant part of the community that does not correlate with Applications? (eg qtractor has no jack-midi support, or ardour3 only jack-midi support, skype on linux only offers pulseaudio) General the choice of API is not made by the user, but dictated by the application(s) a user uses. Hence I don't see how this survey is meaningful by itself. Still interesting though.

That's not how statistics works, but well, it's good enough for the marketing dept. nonetheless :) > If I can remember, I might try this again in a years time.
