I agree, and was thinking something similar... but I was
also in a little amazement at how many people were
responding to this little 'toy.'

Like it or not, musicians are dominated by this sort of
externalism -- especially with respect to technology. In
that respect, I'm finding that how it looks and feels means
as much (or more to them) than how it /sounds/.

So, a little bit of this sort of PR for linux audio would be
a Good Thing, IMHO.
