Re: [LAU] Linux Audio: An overview

Hey everyone!

Thx for the comments so far!

*Joel*: yeah, I did not go there. In a way, you don't notice ALSA and
PulseAudio when it just works and it feels like the "default" parts of the
system. So I did not mention them. But both ALSA and PulseAudio are
definitely extremely important in the world of Linux Audio. As I said in
the overview, it is impossible to mention everything, so I am happy to read
some comments here.

*Philipp*: Haha. Well, I do hope that the text is structured and laid out
in language that does suggest an intelligent discourse rather than just a
rant. Also, it *is* an overview. Something is considered an overview not
whether it gives an impression of disagreeing, but whether it really tries
to look at many aspects and create an overall conclusion.

"Just as a small example, the connection graph you show is not complicated".

I did not say that it is more complicated that in a typical all-in-one DAW.
I said it is complicated to be set up manually each time. So, I write, it
is better to use a script.

That not all people would find the situation the same is expected. If you
have time, I would appreciate several bullet points on what you feel are
too grim points that I make. No need to spend too much time on this, but I
would be happy to know your opinion on the subject.
