Hi Jonathan, > Why > mention linux at all if the user never receives the administrator > password?
Right, Free Software is all about putting control back in the hands of the user. > I wish I could work for Trinity and 64studio to > help make the most bada$$ musical systems out there!!! We're always open to collaboration, that's a big part of our model. Please mail me off-list if you have something specific in mind. > The only thing > that is missing that receptor has is full on support and driver for the > audio interface. Up to a point - even if you build your own audio card, you are still reliant on the chipset vendor to some extent. On the other hand, Intel have been very supportive, and with HDMI we now have a multichannel digital interconnect that supports up to 192KHz sampling. > I checked the new RME pcie AIO and lspci thinks its > something else entirely.

The ALSA team is small compared to the size of its userbase and the number of new devices on the market each year, and both key developers are employed by a company with no interest in pro audio. However, sponsorship of driver development is possible. > Hopefully 64studio and Trinity does not go the way of Muse and just make > appliances.

We're aiming for the best of both worlds, by creating open appliances while also providing Free Software distros for general-purpose machines. Cheers!
