All talk of what should be done, coming from people not know to have
done much or anything relevant, is likely to sound
*fill-in-something-not-nice* to those people who invested serious effort
in something that is relevant.

There is no and will not be a master plan for the linux audio
"community", because the motivations, interests and opinions vary too much.
