  I could think of a "meta-page" which includes short descriptions of

linux audio programs along with screenshots and videos in a fancy

layout. And, what would be more important for me, informations about how

those applications can interact.

The other thing that is interesting for newbie is a recommendation for

hardware. Just recommend one or two device per category (usb, fw, pci..)

that are working well.

I would love such a page. And i don't speak about another forum here..
