They weren't speculative concerns, but rather an attempt to address the most common and most complicated user issue. Come to think of it, not one thing has gotten any easier in the 10 years since I wrote Rosegarden Companion. If anything, it's harder now, because there are fewer accessible alternatives to the built-in AC97 sound everybody is stuck with, and there is Pulse Audio adding another layer of complication to everything. I guess we don't get those questions so much anymore, because there are fewer and fewer users all the time. For that matter, I'm no longer really a user myself. The last composition I finished was all the way back in 2008. I have no idea what's going on in the Linux audio world anymore. I just barely managed to convince my most recent computer to even boot Linux, and if Windows 8 hadn't been such an impressively hideous pile of crap, I might have just left it there, and switched. I didn't have any luck with alternative females in my life either. -- D.
