Working with rosegarden is not nice at the moment. It's certainly not nice 
worrying whether the plugin you are loading is going to bring your session 
down, for instance.

Then again, the fact that alsa sequencer cannot recover when rosegarden is 
dead and gone is, to be fair, an alsa problem too.

The most frustrating linux audio problem I have is actually with jack, 
although rosegarden is very likely to trigger it, of course. If the load on 
the system gets very heavy strange distortions and other artifacts sometimes 
creep into the sound, and they don't go away even when things have settled 
down a bit (at least I think that's what's happening). Whatever it is, it 
doesn't correct itself until I restart jack.

We've got the same rosegarden kind of problem on the video editing side of 
things too. Cinelerra is all-singing, all-dancing and pretty well unusable. 
I'm hoping that I will be able to get jahshaka working soon, and that it will 
be up to the job. If not, it'll be back to windows, unfortunately. Things 
don't look a good deal better on the audio side, but there is still no 
escaping from the fact that creative people lead ridiculously chaotic lives 
and therefore that they have an extra special need for stable software.
