I think we should make it work first and then worry about the user base :-)
If I'm my only user base and it works, it's fine by me.
Of course, it could say something about the usefulness of the system ;)
So, yes it would be cool if a lot of people could/would use it in the end.

I'm fairly optimistic too, for the time being.
I'll start on it after the exams and see how far it gets :)

I'm very interested in this stuff too.
I'm seeing it more as a programmable DSP card,
on which you can load your own programmed effects,
which would be otherwise hard to achieve in realtime.
But you see it a lot larger I guess,
I'm just not so much into hardware design
(as in I don't know enough about it to be able to suggest using
some protocol over firewire to interface with a custom DSP,
which kind of A/D D/A to use etc. ...)

Same here :)
Looks like I've already some cool projects on the list...
Now only to find the time to do all this stuff ...
