Maybe we should pull on a dev specifically interested in audio on linux for things like this. Me, I'm happy as long as I can hear it.
Well, it appears we have no takers for the audio related packages so maybe bring someone on to do this is a good idea.
Anyone care to right up a draft for a news item? Or do we have anyone in mind?
Are we sure we want to bring someone on for this? Traditionally, audio development is a separate community project (ubuntustudio, for example) due to the need for a custom kernel. It seems to me its a bit outside the scope of our development focus. Having said that, if there's somebody available who actually wants to do this stuff (as compared to "I want to be an Arch dev, then I'll be leet" -- we know how quickly that wears off...), I have no problem with them being on the team. I just think it might be better to see it as a successful community project first. Dusty
