State of Sound Development On Linux Not So Sorry After All

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the sounds-like-improvement dept.

An anonymous reader writes "There have been past claims by Adobe and others that development on Linux is a jungle, particularly with regards to audio. However today, the author of the popular 'The Sorry State of Sound in Linux' has posted a follow up showing Adobe's claims to be FUD, as well as being a good update on where OSS and ALSA are holding today, and why PulseAudio isn't a good idea."

    Aww flamebait? Thats the best you could do? Must be a pulse audio developer. Fact is, it sucks.

    Seriously, grow up, and in five years come back and read the comment you just wrote. You'll understand why you failed time and time again to switch people over to Linux with your condescending bare-assertion-filled rants. Care to tell me what exactly gives you the impression I don't "have any idea about the topic"?

    It must bug you no end that such superior software goes so largely unused in the shadow of all the "agonizing bloated Windows software".

    Maybe this article should have also said "Sorry state of video in linux". Just looking at the posts on video highlights how erratic good video support is in Linux. Linux seems to have difficulty playing DVDs with good quality, much less running an intense 3D game like Half-Life. Face it - Windows totally kicks Linux's ass with respect to video and sound support.
