maybe not in terms of code...btw. LAAGA Linux Audio Application Glue
API d;)
> 2) JACK => JACK Audio Connection Kit
laic, layman,...LinuxAudioInterConnection
> 3) Most people would have no idea how to say "LAIC"
Laic - of or relating to the laity - all those who are not members of a
profession or specialized field. I think it should be a symbolic word
for how LAAGA/JACK works (see above). It should not be a problem
for those who speak english...But one can still visit www.webster.com,
they have audio-pronunciations online :)
> 4) "Think you know pro-audio on Linux? You don't know JACK!" is just
too good to pass up, even for people like myself for don't watch
TV in the USA :)
i'm not sure if this type of advertising is suitable for interfaces,
apis, protocols... ;)
