It seems one side effect of becoming a session handler programmer, is getting a lot of debate. But this is maybe not unexpected, cause it 'hits' the whole community. Also history has shown that it will take at least some time to implement a session handler. So maybe it's not realistic to expect consensus in a relative short period.
Anyway, to get a more clear picture of the situation, I think it's good to know what the opinions are from the (former) LASH maintainers. So @Bob Ham, David Robillard and Juuso Alasuutari, Can you describe in your own words: 1) What are the strong and weak points of LADI in your opinion and why? 2) What will be a good approach now for getting a Linux audio session handler in your opinion (taking also LASH/LADI/Jack Session and Fons ideas in account)? 3) Are you willing to contribute to an solution and how do you see this (own project / collaboration with other projects etc.). Please try to keep it short and to the point.
