You can't claim 2 and 4 both as bad things :P > So what is your variant? Time, effort. Clearly. :) The rest is just excuses, really. What is the point in sitting here and hypothesizing about what hypothetical problems might be deterring hypothetical unnamed developers? This kind of braindead dead-end mailing list babble is exactly why LV2 has to be extensible in this way - the people who are actually about to do anything useful don't get bogged down by all the noise. There are simple, clearly defined, real, and solvable problems and tasks to do. Props to Patrick for actually stepping forward and offering to help with one of them. If more people would pick an actual, concrete problem and take it upon themselves to help out with it, then we'd be set... -dr _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
