I think the Linux audio community could advance a lot if we could
manage to create this. We would instantly enlarge the userbase for
linux audio with a lot of DJ's. This is still a very new product &
concept, so the 'market' is still unoccupied. So if we can create
such a program fast & good, we can save a lot of people lot's of
money. The largest problem is that we don't provide a turn-key solution.
(That is true in general). Most of these people aren't capable of
installing & configuring Linux.

I think the patent won't be a big problem, provided it's not
too broad (as always i suppose). There are many ways of implementing
this. I'm pretty sure a workaround can be found.

The linux-friendly soundcard is still wandering around in my head...
I would like to assist, but for now, I can't promise anything.
I'm pretty much a hardware guy... don't get me wrong, I like
coding. But I like HW design more.
So the first thing I'm going to do, is some research on the feasability
of the soundcard...

I hated DAC. (I still do actually).
But this application can get me to reopen those books. Well actually, it
already did, the calculations above are based upon them :)

I'm currently getting my energy from planning what I'll do when the exams
are over...
