I don't think so - the only thing a Linux audio app has to do is be sold by someone. Then we'll all be standing around here saying "Oh, why didn't I think of that?" When I started this thread (oh, way back when) I was bemoaning the fact that Linux geeks were giving Linux software a bad name in the uninitiated and indeed initiated Linux user community. I still think they do but now I don't think that's their fault or indeed their problem. Simply: Linux geeks shouldn't have to be selling Linux software. Linux salespeople should be selling Linux software. I'm sorry if I was a bit slow here but before I didn't see it as a simple case of demarkation. We geeks should set aside our pride for once and admit that we _don't_ actually know or can learn something and work with our natural enemy (the sales and marketing people of this world) if we want to make a Linux audio a commerical success. And then we can all _really_ hate ourselves. B
