yeah, it's easy == might be possible :-) I don't think anybody uses
these words (talking about computers) without a big grin
all in all you're right but it takes a _huge_ amount of work to get
from working system (i.e. I wrote it/set it up etc. and it's usable for
me) to publishable something (program, os, ...). So it takes a long time
to get generally usable stuff - look how long it took from X and
troubled modelines to knoppix. Audio world is unfortunately somewhat
behind so things are not yet trouble free. The good part is that there's
quite a lot of development going on and the support for audio (alsa,
programs) _is_ progressing.
