not solving less-important bugs now... keep it on BL

I plan to keep a stable OSS support ( so you can consider it a Bug), but it 
will be only for simple playback and
recording . Actually, when user has OSS and not alsa, it will have a single 
Bus, and everthing is routed to it

but it just remediative, ALSA is a requirement for protux now, so OSS problems 
are less important than ALSA problems.

keep it on BL

well,  Protux IS designed to GNU/Linux since it is based on ALSA (which is for 
LInux)
but ALSA might be ported to Hurd someday, and it can be applyied to any other 
OS 

Anyway, I think this is a good idea to remove the word KDE from the website, 
since it is not designed for KDE

this is a design question :-)
