Err, (Paul) Newmann's Own Salad Dressing? Now I'm confused, why does Paul Newmann have salad dressing. Isn't he an actor? He put a bunch of his money into a salad dressing company; the profits all go to the Scott Newmann foundation (in memory of his son, who died very young -- I think of a drug overdose).

I think everybody would expect FreeWire to be fully portable to other OSes than linux then. Is it the case? (I'm talking about the API, not the actual implementation...). indeed it is. --p

Re: [linux-audio-dev] LAAGA name
FreeWire *is* a nice name ... but it would imply to me, like others of the ilk, that its API follows that of the system alluded to... which it doesn't intend to. Hmm... but I don't drink laaga either ... A lot of the obvious names have already been used by commercial apps... but I'd gravitate towards something that, at least, hinted what it *did*. sort of AudioLink, SoundLink ... or the XPatch posted earlier... ciao, Iain.
