So we have all we need for improving sound on Linux. How fast and with 
how much success only depends on us, and not on OSS or any vicous
hardware sellers. My feeling is that OSS too would have developed in a 
different direction if Hannu had substantial help when he started.
Probably people interested in making music are too much individualists 
in order to join into a common effort. (Is anybody a member of an
orchestra here ? :)
