or redhat, suse, ibm, dell and the rest. by 2010,

    * DSP processors will have been almost completely eclipsed by
         general purpose CPUs.
    * Operating systems will have become commoditized (future yamaha
         systems are already being based on linux)
    * desktop systems will do what you'd need a studio full of
         current high-end DSP gear to do.
    * quality studios will be defined more by their control 
         surfaces than their signal processing hardware.

i think you misread the speed of this process. there are large
quantities of usable code that will appear rapidly once the
goals and then specification is agreed to. there are multiple working
comparative platforms in existence - this is not rocket science.

the hard part is defining what GMPI should do. doing it is easy.
