Guenter is still polishing his plug-in API. He'll probably announce its
completion here.

I didn't realize there was another active linux-sound mail list where
Alan Cox hangs out. Can anyone direct me to subscription information ?

As nice as it looks, its closed-source nature is a major turn-off for
me. I've also not seen the expected flood of great applications expected
for it. If Linux can resolve latency and filesystem problems affecting
audio, then our platform will indeed become much more attractive to
professional developers. But they're going to want to see the money
trail...
