It also depends on the settings you choose when subscribing to the list.
You can change them by visiting
  http://lists.linuxaudio.org/options/linux-audio-dev
or follow the link at the end of each list-email and use the
"unsubscribe or edit options" button there.

At the bottom of there's an option:
-=-=-=-=-
Avoid duplicate copies of messages?

When you are listed explicitly in the To: or Cc: headers of a list
message, you can opt to not receive another copy from the mailing list.
Select Yes to avoid receiving copies from the mailing list; select No to
receive copies.

mmh "better" in what way?

I'm certainly not the only one with a setup where emails from the list
are moved directly into a dedicated folder which I read at convenience.
Whereas emails to me end up in the INBOX which I read more frequently.

I tend to use the 'reply-to-list' and 'reply-to-all' correspondingly:
"important replies" to-all; else to-list only.
