You can run ecasound (which is my primary FOSS project) on pretty much all popular unices with anything from small pdas to large servers... and nowadays even on windows. ;) At the same time ecasound has one of the most complete JACK subsystems in any client app at the moment. >> I think it's vital that we'd have people around on linux-audio-dev (and >> other related forums) that kept the desktop use perspective (i.e. media > Full agreement.

The problem is that I'm not a KDE developer (and not even a user). I've been on this list for years, because I want to be aware of what is happening on the various audio development islands. And I'm the last person here to demand (or even suggest) anything from or to you... Only way cooperation will work on any level is if it makes sense for all involved. Following many not-too-interesting mailing lists is always a burden, but for instance, it might make sense to announce new kde-multimedia developments on the these other forums and see if you get any feedback. If anyone is interested, they will usually react in some way to these annoucements. If not, at least we both groups know what others are doing. -- http://www.eca.cx Audio software for Linux! _______________________________________________ kde-multimedia mailing list kde-multimedia@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-multimedia
