You can call me a cynic, but I'm afraid that if such a list was put
up, there would be a lot of enthusiasm for a few months (weeks) but then the
list would die. At least this has been my experience in the field of open
source development so far, and I would love someone to prove me wrong!
Why not discuss here at linux-audio-dev? This list has also been
struggling occasionally, so why not fill the list with wonderful discussion
about competing plug-in drafts and the emergence of a winning specification?
BTW, the Portable Audio interface, or portaudio, resides at
http://www.audiomulch.com/portaudio, and AFAIK it's been really quiet on that
front since February.
