Browsing Freshmeat tonight, the premier online Linux software repository, I came across to these two great (and brand new) applications, ReBorn and ReZound. Reborn, a Rebirth clone that will soon become open source according to the developer, provides a software emulation of three of Roland's most famous electronic musical instruments. It got me thinking as to how much more viable Linux is today as a professional (or semi-professional) audio platform than it used to be two years ago. Update: On a related multimedia notice, WinAMP 3.0 for Windows was released yesterday.

Well, Linux can be seen as a good platform for network or 3D. But not audio AT ALL ! It's deeply missing 2 key elements of modern audio programs : an equivalent to DirectShow and an equivalent to VST.
. I also have good faith in what OBOS could be : the open multimedia platform. Maybe later the superior API (sort of) could be ported to Linux.
So all these guys are always reinventing the wheel, and not concentrating on a real multimedia API that everyone will use...
Gstreamer could be that but relys on GTK too much (who needs a screen for audio
At least it's good to see all these code resources that could be used in a bigger thing someday
