[LAA] AV Linux 6.0.4 'Diehard' Released!

Hello fellow Linux Audio peeps!

Apologies for this slightly delayed announcement, I wanted to sort out
some server issues before posting this ...

AV Linux 6.0.4 is released... before I get to the good stuff I want to
take a brief moment to say how thrilling it was to meet so many of the
luminaries in the Linux Audio universe at LAC 2014. It was truly the
experience of a lifetime and it is so great to remember your faces when
your various projects and release announcements come through on this
mailing list... AV Linux is merely a frame for your masterpieces and the
quality and depth of your art continues to amaze and inspire!

With sincere thanks, Glen MacArthur - AV Linux Maintainer

OK, on with it then
