I didn't mean to say anyone has to do anything, but its a lot easier to complain about someone else's code (and yeah, he did bring it on to himself by not reading up about linux culture first) than it is to roll one's sleeves up and help develop software that's out there. Most people don't do anything at all, I'll admit to being one of the worst perpetrators. What would be helpful is not just the sites with links to linux audio apps, but maybe a site that would be a resource for learning c/c++ dsp coding under linux. I for one have not had the benefit of a computer science education, so all my knowlege comes from hardcore bootstrapping. I'm sure many people would like to help, but simply lack the math background to be able to understand complicated dsp code.
