I think the Open Sound Source people still have the best shot at
creating a unified sound standard, and having already signed up the
likes of SCO and Linux makes them pretty compelling.  I've also talked
with Dev of 4 Front Technologies, and he says that anyone is free to
grab and incorporate the OSS header files verbatim if they're looking
for an API target for some free version of the sound drivers.
