For sound enhancement frontrunners like André, of course this is very frustrating.

I can’t say that I can judge the matter from a fully informed point of view, but to me it seems that there have been some issues with sound configuration on Linux systems.

As you probably know, Linux support has been a huge priority for Astro, and first tests on Linux systems show indeed stunning stability and performance, which both have been major pains occasionally in earlier releases.

Then, most of all, sound handling is still far from being as consistent on Linux systems as it is with Mac OS X or Windows (can you say sound multiplexing and Linux in one sentence?), so I am willing to attribute this last-minute-change to a commitment to fully functional software (you can get away with glitches for Linux systems in the beta version, but not in the final release).

Still, I totally agree that direct and vivid communication indeed has been a staple in the developer / community communication for the last few years, so last minute changes are likely to raise a few eyebrows.

I’m curious about statements from the Adobe camp, too.

Best regards
C.

Flash Player 10 has been in public beta for many moons now. Did you not know the beta was available, or did the changes not show up until sometime between the last release candidate and the actual release?

I’m curious about your complaint of lack of time to make changes. I can understand if you’re upset Adobe didn’t detail the changes to how sounds are handled internally. However, Flash Player 10 has been in public beta for many moons now, did you not know about it? I’ve been testing my apps for a couple months now on the beta.

That is really a bummer. What is the intention of the changes? And what now?
