Hi Daniel :) maybe this report from you, as a publisher of a prestigious Linux audio distribution, would have weight in the 'debate' about RealtimeKit deamon (http://lalists.stanford.edu/lad/2009/06/0191.html). The 'debate' now is over. I don't know the result and how many people died ;), I stopped watching narrowly, when they started eating children. I guess at the best, Pulseadudio, Arts etc. won't spoil a DAW and at the best a deamon like RealtimeKit will do what he should do, without side effects. If so, it would be a good move, but I guess thinking about joining the everyday desktop environment and a DAW for all OSs OOB is utopistic at this time. Lennart is ahead of time. For a DAW plus everyday usage Linux even is ahead of Windows. Once a Linux DAW is fine, you carefree can add an office suite and surfing the web. I won't try this with my Windows DAW ;). Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
