No audio (when released as a Professional workflow); Not being able to
use Metafuze on the same computer as the DS etc

Although fixed now, they were not a professional workflow. FCP and
Premiere dealt with audio and video natively.

Every other workflow managed it, before Avid. Just saying.

Still, having seen what Sony think is a viable workflow for pulling
selects from shots in full quality from XDCAM HD, I'm prepared to
forgive Avid :)
