The developers on this list are already perfectly aware of the issues. Repeating them ad nauseam doesn't help solve them. >>> I spent 5 hours last week to help somebody to get his (pro) audio >>> working on Linux...

To illustrate that the often repeated claim that "things just work (on OS X)" isn't actually trie. >>> I don't know if I can really recommend Linux for pro audio to normal >>> human beings... at least I should say, you need a lot of time, not easy >>> give up on things and a lot of patience... >>> >> >> then get off this list and leave us to our playthings. or better yet, >> spend time critiquing the current state of the "out of the box" >> experience with the people who **actually provide** the out of the >> box experience. >> > > Why do you make this noise? because i am sick and tired of people complaining to *developers* about the out-of-box experience when this is something that we do not control. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
