[Preston] ALSA Demo -- Planned and Possible Demo Items

[Michael Bach]

I think it might be good if we stay away from whatsoever sound apps,
I've seen that lame for example has some docs on its homepage.
What would be more interesting imho, is maybe how kde and gnome connect
to sound/alsa, and what role arts plays in this game. I lacking the "big
picture".

It might be good to also demo lame, to convert music to mp3?
also grip is a cool tool.
