Thanks a lot. reading it like this makes perfect sense.
There's two missing (which were mentioned in a follow up email):
- batch (does it mean app can be called (headless) from a batch script, or that the app itself offers batch processing)
- embed. means embedded or embeddable?

There's already been quite some additions:
http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/doku.php?id=wiki:tools_comparison&do=revisions
In particular: Lua-AV, Snd-RT, CLM and Fluxus have been reviewed.
Someone (84.215.119.162) recently added categories "RT" and "GC" without documenting them :/
IMHO real-time makes sense, but I' don't think that "garbage collection" (if that's what GC means) belongs in that table.
Anyway, step 2 (next month) includes removing undocumented and superfluous information (eg. so far all discussed tools are x-platform).
ciao,
robin
