The community isn't huge but it's definitely there
I work in an electronic music studio. I'd love to use Linux, but the apps just aren't there.
The fact that there's almost no development community addressing this potentially enormous market amazes me to no end.
On the linux-audio-dev mailing list, many things are discussed and software developed such as Ardour, digital audio workstation software for Linux, JACK (JACK Audio Connection Kit), a low-latency infrastructure for connecting audio applications, and several wave editors. Dave Phillips maintains a list of Linux sound applications--many are not that advanced but some are.
Work in this area is progressing, and many smart people are involved. In particular, Paul Barton-Davis, author of Ardour and the main force behind JACK, seems to be pursuing commercial possibilities of selling linux-based sound workstations under a company named Linux Audio Systems. You can read Paul's slashdot comments to see some of his opinions on the situation of Linux audio. -
Here you can visit the Museum of the Iceman (www)!Hehe that's kinda funny to see coverage of the Oetzi (aka the Iceman) on Slashdot.
I happen to be from that province where the Oetzi was found aka South Tyrol.The museum where the iceman is exposed is located in Bolzano - Italy.
Here's the homepage:

Some corrections to the "article"
The project is led by Guenter Gieger who is the developer of the Linux low latency driver for the RME Hammerfall 96xx series. Combined with realtime kernel patches, the Hammerfall card in Linux can achieve hardware level latencies.
- Not "realtime" patches to the kernel. The patches in question are "low latency" patches that decrease scheduler latency. They have nothing to do with RTLinux or "hard realtime" programming.
- Guenter didn't write the "native" digi9652 driver, Winfried Reitsch did that. Guenter hacked Pd to use the driver. There is also an ALSA driver for the Hammerfall (I wrote it) that was based loosely on Winfried's driver.
- "hardware latencies" is a loose term. lets just say that a properly written application can use any audio interface via ALSA to get audio i/o latencies that are bounded only by the h/w design.
- I don't think Guenter started Demudi, but I think he may be those most active developer involved in its evolution. Most active by far, in fact.
If you are a developer working on or interested in Linux audio software, I also encourage you to check out the Linux Audio Development web site.

Will IBM support the Audio/Multimedia on Linux ?I was wondering if IBM wants to support Linux in the multimedia field, specifically audio/video.
I hope not to hear the usual "linux has no future on the desktop".
I think hat Linux has a great future as a high-performance multimedia platform, but corporate world still seems to ignore it completely (audio even more than video)Check out what the Linux Audio Developers are currently doing at www.linuxaudiodev.org, The Home of Linux Audio Development
