Your division puts audio performance applications in a grey area.

On the one hand they aren't safety critical.

On the other, I can imagine someone getting chewed out or even fired for a pause or a glitch in a professional performance.

Probably the same with live commercial video compositing.

Audio is definitely hard realtime. The slightest delays are VERY noticeable.

I mean, it should be.

But there are plenty of performers who apparently rely on Linux boxes and gumption.
