Observations

• Audio on Linux sucks. Developers don't know which interface to use.
• No clear vision from kernel, distros, or application developers.
• Problems: CODECs, configuration, multiple apps through HW device
• APIs needed for integrating audio applications
• No venue to discuss audio
• Professional vs consumer

Next steps

• Focus only on audio as a first step and audio/video syncronisation is almost guaranteed to be a problem later
• Create a focus group on what is needed from audio APIs.
• Create use cases
• Target Linux Audio Conference for face to face meeting
