good idea.
how about linux-audio-user ?
as to topics, i'd propose everything about linux audio *except*
"getting-my-soundcard-to-work" type questions. let's by all means
leave this to linux-sound and alsa-user.
douglas, i heard you still have bandwidth to spare on
roar.music.columbia.edu ?
let's go for it.
somebody (i think juhana) suggested an announce list as well.
i don't see the need for that. announcements of new projects should
go to devel, and announcements of new releases should go to dave for
his "new additions" section. that's what most people read, anyway.

my humble guess is that most people tend to either not discuss with
others about their stuff at all or are following more specialized
mailing lists. understandable.
if LAAGA or whatever it's called by now will finally take off, we
might have the Grand Unifying Audio Layer that will draw the
attention of the rest of the audio world to LAD. i don't think we
need to worry that some people are not reading this list (yet).
wait until ardour has hit the news and the first interaction of two
independent audio apps is displayed on a linux show.
btw, i have said this before, but suse ships the ladspa sdk already.

well, this is a pretty lame thing to say. this list has a *very*
civilised and friendly tone. tell those crybabies to go to lkml to
see how life is. this argument only holds water in spoken
discussions, where more verbose people (even if they're benevolent)
might prevent others from making their point, but not on mailing
lists.
