Hello all, Just a quick word from me to add that not only linuxaudio.org monitor this list closely, loads of linux/FLOSS related websites do too, some of them totally unrelated to audio. But then again, each person who posts an announce here is responsible for what kind of publicity he/she provides for his/her software... Although, one has to admit that most posts are well written and have a professional look that I like a lot. +1 cent...
