Maybe he just replied to another mail and wanted to point out some problems that are the cause, that there are so less people using Linux real-time audio. I guess a developers list isn't a bad place to do it. I don't have the impression that he wanted to attack you ;). >> I spent 5 hours last week to help somebody to get his (pro) audio >> working on Linux...

This is why I know so many people who never ever will use Linux, because of noise like yours Paul. For flame-wars please reply off-list ;). I'll ignore it :).
