There is no overall plan.

Sure, but why add another 20ms to that time with crappy software ?

I don't think we need too. Those of working on ALSA have already got
specific high-end vendors to work with us. If Korg, Yamaha, Opcode,
Digidesign and the rest don't want to play with us, thats OK, we can
use cheaper, better hardware like the RME Hammerfall. This card
provides 3 ADAT in, 3 ADAT out, plus S/PDIF and word clock. It
supports 24 bit/96kHz. Latency ranges from 1ms to 180msec at 48kHz.
You can buy one for around $500, and use it on Linux today.
Oops. Sorry, there's no software to use with it. Oh well, back to
coding ...
