There is *no* relation at all between a demo and actual user experience. A demo is a prepared show and in showbizz everything is OK as long as the show goes on. I've done demos that were completely fake (not audio, CAD software). The lack of correlation can work in both ways: I know at least one very usable and major Linux audio app that crashed every five minutes when demoed at one of the first LACs :-) -- FA Laboratorio di Acustica ed Elettroacustica Parma, Italia killall -9 jackd _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
