I don't know if this fits into your book or not, but lurking on this site for more
than a month now I've learned that many of the GPL audio tools are still
"works-in-progress."
Seems to me that it would be useful to have one master list of what features are
missing or buggy in each of the applications from the stand point of a
professional/serious amateur musician or engineer. I understand that there may be some
subjectivity in this, but it would (I think):
1) Motivate developers to complete/polish up the aps
2) Help users decide which ap is most appropriate for which music/sound production
situation.
Incidently, I did very much appreciate your book and regret that we'll need to wait a
year or more for the next edition.
Best wishes,
Lloyd R. Prentice
