Hi Kris, I'm a student, and I do have a very part time job programming things other than linux audio, but that's not necessarily the career I'm going into. Any audio programming I do is entirely in my own time for my enjoyment and the enjoyment of others. Essentially it boils down to "I want X. What? It doesn't exist yet? Well let's see if I can create it." The reason I became involved in linux audio development is because I like making music with linux, and also, DSP algorithms are *cool*. Jeremy
