At the risk of being pedantic, what is wrong with the sound/audio section of freshmeat? It would be cool to have a similar audio specific site written by LAD types, but I think it needs more of a unique angle to warrant the duplication of effort. Dave's site is great because it is so low tech imho. I think for advocacy purposes and general coolness, it would be nice to have a site devoted to linux _musicians_ where we can upload and compare tracks and production methods. More of an extension of LAU... cheers, dave ................................. www.pawfal.org/nebogeo
