i'd argue that the primary cost is not the effort (of writing a
decoder vs. driving the
encoder to accept a different format), but the impact on the design.
being able to
say "this takes pcm" is a win.
my main question comes from "fancy" formats. on cards that do 5.1, for example,
do we simply write 6-channel pcm samples in a defined order? i have no idea how
the cards behave in this regard. if it requires more than that (say, write ac-3
directly), i'd suggest that's not /dev/audio.
