I had 8 channels of audio coming and I was routing it between a
combination of AMS, SSM, jack-rack and tapiir (I think). I wanted to
change the routing on the fly.
Obviously it /can/ be done in windows (turing complete), but i bet it
would have been a hell of a lot harder.

There is sometimes, but most people post to this list when they have
problems, not successes. These are also the linux audio lists, not the
linux music lists.
There are things like noize farm where people post thier synth patches,
and linux music blog websites.
