So if anyone wants to create 'arbitrary' extensions, he will. No profiles, no nothing change that. It's a wild software jungle out there anyway and I really do think we have to rely on distributors to make it more handable for the average user, where average user refers to everyone who is for whatever reason not able or inclined to go out there to explore, test and learn. -- Thorsten Wilms Thorwil's Design for Free Software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-dev
