The word `support' is now as meaningless as `system', so I'm not sure
what constitutes `audio support' for you. Plan 9 has long been able
to drive SoundBlaster 16s and clones and now can drive USB audio
devices. Ken collected ~160GB of PAC-encoded music on choline, our
old file server. PAC is Perceptual Audio Coding, also developed at
the labs. pacenc and pac[1-4]dec are not distributed, nor is the
`audio' GUI command to control playing PAC-encoded music. PAC
nominally compresses music 14:1 and the sound quality is quite good.
So those 160GB correspond to about 2.24TB, probably a little less. A
PAC-encoded album might take 45-65MB, with songs taking about 3-9MB.
Ken ended up using an 8-processor x86 (Pentium Pro, I think) system to
rip CDs by handing a track to each processor to encode, which really
sped up the process.
So from my perspective, there's lots of audio support in Plan 9,
though it may appear less so to most people.
