Some of us were dreaming out loud...would a subforum for Linux and music be an option?
Where musically minded Linux users could exchange ideas, patches, their (own/legally made) music (perhaps as link to somewhere) and above all help in need...
So, maybe a suggestion?
Thinking out loud...weekend only a few hours away...
I like the idea. But then you'd need(?) to create one for video and graphics. Perhaps, one generic section with 3 subforums (audio, video, graphics?) Just a thought.

Rep:
Thanks for the feedback. As many Linux multimedia issues can contain both software and hardware aspects, it's possible we'd be open to the idea. One concern I'd have is that there is not enough demand for a dedicated top level forum for this. Thoughts on this?
Hmm, how about a sub station somewhere under Linux General? Does'nt have to be a top-level at all. A sub level should do nicely.
Some place to put questions about sound (OSS, ALSA,...) in general, things like "how do I make that sound with this program?" or even "anyone needs a drummer?" - maybe a hotspot for all creative streams on music using Linux as backbone.
Especially a "please critique" type of undercurrent...
Helping new users get to grip with things like Ardour, multi-track recording and even publishing stuff...why not?
Hey, great way to start the weekend!

Indeed - I read each and every thread in the LQS&F forum (and respond to most).

Personally, I'd stick to technical things. All the stuff like "anyone needs a drummer" or "critique" would, IMHO, belong to Non-*NIX Forums/General.

Good point...but, since that kind of threads/questions will come peaking around the corner anyway, maybe setting this thing under Non-*NIX Forums/General is a better option...
To say something based on replies so far and not, it should be top level forum Linux - Multimedia. I agree with Cultist, no need for sub-forums.
If I may quote Wikipedia;
Quote:
Multimedia includes a combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, or interactivity content forms.
Multimedia is usually recorded and played, displayed or accessed by information content processing devices, such as computerized and electronic devices, but can also be part of a live performance. Multimedia (as an adjective) also describes electronic media devices used to store and experience multimedia content.

Well, there's one lovely thread in General about music, it has almost 35,000 views and more than 1000 replies, I'd say that's 36,000 reasons enough for Multimedia forum. That could be a place where all artistic souls could meet and believe me they would have a lot to talk about.
I tend to agree with alan_ri. Persons frequently ask technical questions about Linux media players and those posts are scattered amount newbie, distro, and software forums.
I think a technical forum for those questions would provide a service.
