Instead of writing translators I'd rather pick a single convention
that seems the most suitable and fixup the other implementations
and clients to fall in line with those conventions.  My biggest
question is "is it worth my time?"  If I spend time unifying
the various implementations, will they be accepted back into
the mainline or will it be viewed as unnecessary churn...
How much do people even care about the audio drivers and they're
interfaces at the present time?
