Seems Paul will be attending, but so far he hasn't posted his
proposal.

Hey, Paul! Please submit your proposal! It just takes 10 min or
so. Just a title and a short blurb, that's about it. No long
papers. http://linuxplumbersconf.org/ocw/events/2009/proposals/new

But of course, the more people we can get to attend the better.

As a side note, since you are mentioning RT: the biggest
RT-on-the-desktop issues will hopefully be going away pretty soon. My
plans for Fedora 12 are that we ship with the missing bits of
infrastructure so that we can enable RT user processes by default
without nasty security implications. This will then be used by PA and
will also be available for JACK. And I am pretty sure the other
distros will then incorporate the same stuff into their distros pretty
quickl, too. I'll be announcing that shortly in more detail. Stay
tuned.

This year's LAC didn't really fit into my schedule. But yes, I hope to
be able to attend LAC 2010. We'll have to see.

The situation shouldn't be that bad anymore. PA and JACK2
cooperate in a more friendly fashion these days when accessing audio devices:
when jack asks for it PA will release the audio device, and when jack
goes away PA will try to take it back.

But yes, there's certainly a lot left to discuss.
