To my way of thinking, Ubuntu Studio has pretty good defaults. I can install Ubuntu Studio and get straight into audio work. Just try doing that with a standard Debian or Ubuntu install!
Yes and no. It is hard enough to get going that some people will go searching and find lots of very old information that effectively makes audio very hard to get right after applying.
Second point is that there is a new piece of hardware floating around called a USB mic. There are a lot of them, and they look fancy being modeled after a "studio mic" and sound much better than any other "Computer mic". These do not work OOTB, they do not work with any GUI based set up. The only way to get them going is from command line. These mics do work just fine in an av computer like a Mac... I am not sure how windows handles this (I am told it does not, but relies on the software using it to do so)
I have been running for close to 3 years on a number of systems around the house where all Audio devices are usable at the same time. Not just my computers but also those belonging to computer nonmiterate people. It just works day after day with no hickups at all. It does not choke on freewheel mode as our persent system does.
I have a very clear vision of where I am going with the audio part of this and will make it that way. When I am done I would like people to try it out and try and break it. At that time I would be willing to talk some more.... And if people wish to change the gui, be my guest.
I have spent (and watched other people spend) much time on IRC getting getting people's audio to work. I truely believe I have a solution to real OOTB running. But we will see. It is much easier to remove things not needed than to add things later (as I have found).
