Fwd: Re: Work Started on Audio Working Group Charter (Advance Notice)

Hi, folks-

We advised our Advisory Committee that we are starting work on the Audio 
WG charter, as per W3C Process, and there has been definite interest.

Here are some thoughts sent to me offlist that should be considered as 
part of our use cases and requirements, which may dovetail with what 
Janina Sajka from the accessibility community said in her recent email.

Not sure whether I mentioned this to you or to someone else at TPAC, but
I'd still like to see this generalized to cover more modern audio input
devices, which support > 2 channels.  I think a great goal would be to
provide sufficient flexibility that one could do a simple DAW, fed by at
least commodity grade USB/Firewire interfaces.  Otherwise, the Web remains
at a huge disadvantage to native.

I don't normally post personal opinions to ac-forum, as I feel it's mainly
for the AC, but feel free to forward this comment to anyone who might be
interested, whether inside W3C or not. Please do cc: me.  Thanks!

Noah
