I'll come out and opening admit to being incredibly dumb
so it took me DAYS to figure how to simply record into
the mic input of an SBLive, then record mic and playing
wav file with aplay at the same time, and then record
mic and midi/wavetable at the same time. I still haven't
managed to do all 3 at the same time.

I would respectfully disagree with your comments. 9/10s
of the computer users on this planet are probably not
even aware of what "open source" actually means... all
most of these people care about is a) is it free and b)
does it install without any problems. skype is already
the market leader in this field, they just need to stay
in front and whether they open source their crown jewels
to give us GNU zealots a warm and fuzzy feeling is...
debatable.

Does that mean it is actually not at all possible to use
voice both ways AND record both "channels" at the same
time anyway ?
