Thanks for that Peter, in fact I had already found this myself whilst searching for documentation. It isn't actually much help, although it does fill in one or two gaps in my knowledge.
The thing that strikes me is that Aeolus appeared to be a dead project from the pretty extensive searches I made when I first became aware of its existence in the nightlies. This was largely due to Fons not dealing with out-dated links properly - in fact his link on Linux Audio Developers members page still points to the defunct kokkinizita.net link which has probably caused all this trouble (see) http://www.linuxaudio.org/members I did actually find his own Aeolus page but as at the time the last update was in 2010, the mailing lists mentioned at the Muse Aeolus page were completely dead, and there was absolutely no documentation to be found anywhere apart from the somewhat sketchy information on the Muse page, I concluded that the project had been abandoned, which is why Maurizio, after a lot of poking around the net himself decided to experiment with it. Like you I waded through most of that extremely long thread, and was amazed that he was still working on it. The question is did Werner also think the project was dead? All the available evidence, unless you were a member of the LAD mailing list suggests that was the case. I agree that Fons should be contacted. Incidentally, the latest version recognised by the Ubuntu Studio PPA is 0.8.4-6 I quote from the Launchpad PPA: "There are no projects registered in Launchpad that are a potential match for this source package. Can you help us find one?
