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
