Hey Ico,
I'm sorry, but I don't really understand what you mean. While I would

encourage the people from the Debian Multimedia Team to subscribe to a list

like linux-audio-tuning to discuss tuning issues and grab ideas from here,

I don't see how we could provide mirroring or any kind of services like

this (we have limited resources), and even if we could, I don't see why

*we* should do it.
If I understood the original mail correctly, this initiative is meant to be

integrated to *Debian*, and is meant to make the *Debian* distro better,

because it is *Debian* which has issues with linux-audio. Why should

linux-audio chime in ?
Cheers,
Marc-Olivier Barre.
