5,000 downloads for Mac and 20,000 downloads for subversion point to 
this market. But here is a problem because of the money. Somebody is 
willing to donate next month, because this month he needs to buy a new 
soldering tip and some jacks. The next month a donation is impossible, 
because the CPUs fan and a hard disc needs to be replaced ... etc. ...  
but why do you think Ardour isn't designed to reach them? Because for 
some reasons Ardour isn't an application that fit to my needs, but most 
Linux audio users I know favour Ardour for hard disc recording. I guess 
Ardour and Rosegarden are most used applications.
