I certainly hope so. However, I for one, have the same itch, but I havn't
contributed to Ardour for a few reasons:
1. I'm not good enough. I don't know much about audio hardware, certainly
not enough to help with that part - which seems to be very important
from what I have seen on alsa-devel.
2. I've never done any C++, and I don't like it as a language.
3. Paul seems to be dong very well. There is always the fear that he will
loose interest or whatever, but I do think that project benefit from
having one person who is very good having total up to v. 1.0
4. I can't get ALSA to compile. Silly, but important. I think it's
RedHat's kernel's fault, but recompiling a stock kernel is not the simple
thing it once was.
That said, I hope that the plugins I'm writing will be of some help, and
I intend to write a simple palmtop control interface, when points 2 and 4
are met (proably after 1.0.0 though).
