It would be nice to do plan 9 audio if only to show people how it can
be done. Anyone who deals with audio on linux knows how not to do it;
but it's probably very hard to get it right. I know I could do no
better.

It would be nice, I think, to do it out of the kernel ... still better
to do it in a way that makes it easy to adopt new audio formats
without having to rip out the guts each time and start over -- which
seems to be the linux problem.

The ideas here certainly sound like potentially good ones.
