I'm torn. some of the Linux-Audio-user end-user discussions would

clearly be better suited for a Forum. - maybe even upload the song and

have both pointers and web-player...etc. radio-staion?  - OTOH

enthusiastic musicians  are a very important on this list and it would

be a shame to move their main attention to web-forums!
LAU should stay an open and central point for linux-audio resources of

any kind! if there's need that LAD can not accomadete, we should

consider a linux-audio-mastering or linux-audio-songs or linux-audio-pro

mailing list to refine gifts from the sky!
