Quotes of the week [LWN.net]

Audio hackers unfortunately don't grow on trees. In my counting, there are 3 people paid in the whole industry who work on general purpose audio infrastructure of Linux. Two of them are basically busy with keeping the HDA driver up-to-date, if I am correctly informed. The third one is me.

Over the past few months, I've noticed something: Subversion development is fun again. I don't know if it's the fact that we're all working hard on a difficult problem, or that the code is changing rapidly, that we've got some new blood in the project, or simply that we're headed into the final push toward a landmark release.

Whatever the cause, thanks for making me look forward to hacking code these days.

I'm right now listening music with my newest music app on my phone: Rockbox plays music on my HTC legend... I'm overly happy that I've gotten that far now. I'm looking forward to finally bring gapless playback, dynamic playlists and an extensive equalizer (and more) to Android! Although there's a lot of work still to do.

Oh my. I feel totally stung by the Gnash-comment.

When I got this new computer I only used Gnash. Then I suddenly needed the stupid good-for-nothing Adobe-client in order to *buy a travel insurance* to go to the USA (lol). After that I've actually just had that client running, and being a bit happy that I can finally watch Vimeo-videos (that everyone seems to be using for some really dumb reason).

Well, I'll put Gnash back in. I never meant to stop using it, - it just happened because of the extreme evilness that is Flash.
