Well, let's not forget the [far, far greater] importance of having a
Linux compatible audio API.  Their API may have its warts, but as far
as audio applications written to the Linux sound driver spec, they
have us beat by a factor of 10 or so.  Aside for some scattered mbone
tools, there aren't any applications _written_ to use this common
BSD soundAPI if we had one.  Frankly, I'd rather have the apps. :)
