Did anyone say it was? Why does it matter if it's innovation? Compared to all the prior-art, I suppose the interesting part of Link is momentum behind it, along with the apple-style dictated protocol: take it as-is or leave it. Not the usual years of consortium design discussions which may or may not eventually result in consensus and more like a floss-like benevolent dictator style (think jack, or LV2). The closest thing to innovation is "Pro Audio company that usually does closed-source proprietary software publishes an API and reference implementation under GPLv2" and it work on GNU/Linux, too. That's pretty cool IMHO and I wish more companies would do that! Also coming up with a protocol is the easier part. Documenting it, pushing it out to users, gaining traction in the industry etc is the hard part. 2c, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
