Linux audio forums, IRC channels, mailing lists, and wikis
This page could/should be split into multiple pages. In case it stays a single page, it should be renamed to something like 'linux_audio_places'. Also, a podcast page/section should probably be added.

IRC channels
When using IRC, please be patient. It might be night in other countries and people from there might not be online, or online and AFK, or simply busy. One usually just writes one's question there, and if someone knows an answer, you will usually recieve it in up to half an hour (usually 5-10 minutes).
