Actually.. I wouldn't mind a library you can LD_PRELOAD which replaces
open/read/write/mmap/ioctl for audio devices and then mangles it to an
appropriate back end.. I was going toward this end but had difficulty getting
even a base library to work :(

This sort of approach means you don't have to worry about wether you have
Esound, NAS, Voxware, OSS or pcm..

Of course it might be a bit slower than normal, but heck, CPU is cheap! ;)
