I never heard of either project before today. Searching Debian for anything that seems related reveals only LADI Session Handler. It is not at all clear how Non Session Manager fits into the Linux audio milieu. It does not seem as if I have needed a session manager. But I might be mistaken. It has been a long time since I had any complaints about audio on Linux, basically since PulseAudio and things that talk to it got working.
Who uses this? And, why would anybody do something as shady as to make off with somebody's project name? What benefit do they imagine they could get from that?
I would rather see, instead, an announcement of a new discussion group with decent governance, and clean packages for Debian, Fedora, Arch, Nix, etc., renamed if necessary. Needing to rename an old project to work around malfeasance is inconvenient, but nobody is married to the old name.
This kind of audio session management is used by musicians and audio engineers. The idea is to be able to launch multiple applications that have audio/midi input and output, and manage the signal routing between them. Think of it as being kind of like Unix pipes for sound.
