PC audio is a specialty within a specialty, so it would be smaller than overall technology, like blind_tech. This list should be consistent with discussing audio newcomers problems and experienced audio engineers, so the traffic isn't too much to discourage the old hand from hanging around to help the newcomer. If I had to wade through advertising about shows, where people show off their talents at whatever, e.g. presenting the sounds of the eighties, or oldies, or new songs, or even discussion about technology, I could look for a podcast or cruise for some such via other methods, not here, please. :)
