This also seems like a good idea to me, and it would be cool to have a
knowledgebase like that.
However i think that doing a survey in order to measure how big the
linux audio market is is a different project.
Similar to what David did, i imagine that a RME (or M-Audio) customer
would submit his name, optionally email, choose type of his card from a
list, and enter approx. date of purchase so that we can track the growth
of the market(thus it's possible to roughly estimate its future growth).
Also we'd need to announce it to a broad range of people, LAD/LAU/LAA,
ALSA-dev/user/site, and Slashdot i suppose, so that we reach as many
such customers as possible.
Let's also not forget about OSS users which are also linux users.
(I personally reckon a few people from #lad having troubles with alsa,
they switched to oss for that reason).
However, since i've got no php experience and very little mysql
experience, i can't tell how hard it would be to do such a sumbit/log
system.
