exciting, but it will be completely divergent from the intel/ppc world because of the floating point issue.
so? any particular reason a linux hacker should give a damn? are intel/ppc the only CPU's worth writing audio software for? should linux become platform-homogenized, just because of this issue? i think not!
this is really a great shame.
its not a shame, its an opportunity. nothing less!
floating point versus fixed point samples will reach deep into most audio/music software, and certainly deep in JACK. i can just about begin to imagine how one might write a JACK and a JACK client that could run on fixed or floating point, but beginning is where i give up.
good thing you aren't the only one writing code then, isn't it .. i mean, sure, JACK is lovely, Ardour too, but its really a shame you can only run them on intel/ppc ..
