I agree with you about the sense of community etc. And i hate to sound 
like a whiner as i really am NOT the developer that alot of the folks 
on the list are. I tend towards sounding like i am always pissing and 
moaning about what doesn't work, but i really appreciate all that you 
folks on this list do. But to be honest i have tried using several of 
pbd's code over the years, starting with Quasimodo, and i drooled 
waiting, but never ever got it working right. The same with ardour, it 
never ever builds for the normal shmoe (ie ME) who wants to experiment. 
So there is your other fragmentation with audio softwares...artists 
want tools that work...sometimes right away. These problems with jack i 
am sure will get fixed but they are too reminiscent of past history.

Soundflower already works with pd. Bam. done.
