Those popcon figures are not low compared with figures for other audio pkgs.

Ardour has only 1/3rd of the openmovieeditor score.

Possibly most audio users do not opt-in for popcorn?

I do not believe audio on debian is dead, especially if all the derivatives are 
taken into account!

some egs..

jackd1:           441 (i.e.. jack-audio-connection-kit)
jackd2:           120
rosegarden:      1059
ardour:           275

but...

qjackctl: 	 2876
libjack-jackd2-0: 937
libjack0:       34966
libjack-dev:     3039

I don't think you can call rosegarden, ardour and jack dead because of those 
numbers, the library and -dev numbers might suggest something about the people 
who do opt-in to popcon?

Or is it that most audio users are not using the debian pkgs yet, because until 
fairly recently these all had much more recent .deb versions available from 
outside debian ... the high libjack0 figures may suggest something like that?

With Squeeze getting much more up-to-date stuff (thanks mainly to the efforts 
made here!!) this may well change.
