interesting to hear you work for deutschlandradio. wow.
(for those not from germany: dradio is a nation-wide public radio
station, that means a) there is some money behind it [tax money, to
be exact], b) they can do (and do) otherwise under-featured cultural
stuff even though it doesn't raise millions of listeners, c) they
produce their own (very good) radio plays and d) they have no
commercials.)
i'm even more surprised to hear you use linux stuff at work on a
daily basis.
i wonder if we could do a feature of your work and related linux
deployments somewhere on the net or at LinuxTag, something along the
lines of "Linux Audio Tools in the Industry" or something ?
might be both interesting reading *and* good advertising.
[getting shameless:]
have you ever tried to get some sponsoring money out of your
employer (maybe to fly some developers to a trade show, and have
dradio banners in return) ?
or mustn't your boss know what you're using ? :-)

jörn
