The "we just don't know" argument is a non-argument: a badly-designed nuclear power-plant might not explode, Oh please, even ignoring your hyperbolic example material, comparing a port made some time later in the dev process as opposed to from day one to 'a badly-designed nuclear power-pl...

Next time though, next game you make, I would much rather see a Linux version than a Linux port. Yes, there is a difference. I think you're being prematurely pessimistic. We don't know what the quality of the final product will be, but Ryan Gordon always does good work. When we have the Linux versi...

EDIT: You can use your system OpenAL too, of course. I had performance problems when I did that, unfort...
