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.
Well I think Allan is talking more about the audio related utilities in extra already that are part of gnome/KDE and the like.
I forwarded the initial post on the AUR ML in case a TU is interested.
I believe Allan is talking about the audio apps NOT part of KDE or Gnome as those are already maintained by the kde/gnome devs. Unless I'm mistaken, we're talking about standalone audio apps: ardour, rosegarden, fluidsynth, jackbeat, etc. Most of these are orphaned.
Exactly what I was talking about. Allan
