<p>Well I am intrested for one. </p>
<p>Part of the issue is there is a lot of difference between a pro audio app and someone who wants to just listen, record and stream a lot of noise.</p>

I tried to explain this before the last time Linux Audio was slagged<br>
off on this list as being a mess. JACK is for pro-audio users. Within<br>
the IT industry, Pro-audio users are a minority, within Linux, they're<br>
an even smaller minority.<br>

It's called choice.<br>

<br>
C++ seems to be the language of choice for linux audio applications,<br>
with a small minority using C.<br>
<br>
I'm not trying to evangelize about how great Jack is, I just offered<br>
to do a talk. If no one's interested I won't bother.<br>
