"So, how is a the menu helping anyone if this is the case?"
let's say the user is a video person (not an audio person and therefore lacks 
relevant experience or knowledge about linux audio applications) and this user 
knows they need to edit audio for their podcast.

i think having audacity in the video menu is invaluable because it says
in the tool tip that it is used to edit audio. otherwise, they look at
all the applications in the audio menus and probably get overwhelmed by
the shear number of applications, although the sub-menus have most
likely helped this enormously.

"the first place to start is to create workflow documentation"
i would say that the documentation exists in an unfinished state in 
wiki.ubuntu.com, but i agree it should made prettier, finished, and put either 
on help.ubuntu.com or the ubuntu studio website. while i agree the 
documentation should be available to a user, i'm not sure that this needs to be 
THE primary source for a person who knows the work flow but doesn't know what 
application has been included for that task. having audacity in the video menu 
is that visual and immediate cue.


i would like to point out that audacity has _not_ been removed from the audio 
menu in preference for the video menu. only those people who go to the video 
menu will notice that audacity is there.
