That I fully understand, I never wrote or expected US to be "audio only". I
believe the strength is that is is all those things. What I wondered was
why it wouldn't be "pro". I also added that the audio parts was the only
thing I have some knowledge about which is why I only commented about those
parts.
And thanks for the somewhat condescending link to the tour of Ubuntu
Studio. I have been using US since 8.04 and yeah perhaps I don't watch the
whole tour every time I upgrade.

I'm a bit confused by the showcase remark. To follow that thread once you
have seen what you can do with regular Ubuntu, you should then move to
regular Ubuntu and the US work is done? I have been looking at Ubuntu
Studio as its own distribution, not a commercial for regular Ubuntu.

Which I did, that's how I found this mailing list. But from what I seen so
far it's not really inviting to try do more, so perhaps after 5 years of US
I will look into KXstudio on another platform instead.
