Audio Plumbing for Free Multimedia Software
Developers and users of audio and multi-media software running on free
software platforms such as Linux face obstacles not present on platforms
such as OS X and Windows. They also have opportunities and possibilities
that are unique. This talk will survey the current state of the software
environment for Linux multi-media applications, their developers and
users. Users with Linux experience as well as those based entirely on
proprietary platforms will hopefully gain a broader perspective on what
is possible today, and what may be possible next week. I will also
discuss the challenges of developing complex applications in the context
of the libre software culture.
