I wanted to add that I found the MediaKit close to the design goal,
but written in C++, which wasn't acceptable for Linux where C and
other language bindings are common. CoreAudio is also close, but felt
unacceptably MacOS-like to serve as an acceptable basis for an API on
a Unix-like system. The conventions (coding, naming, etc) were all at
odds with 95% of the code that gets written for Linux.
