So, how do we ever get anyone who makes money to recognize that
everything in this description is true of Linux/ALSA as well?
(Rhetorical question, I think).

Propellerhead Software, the Swedish company behind acclaimed products
such as Reason, Recycle! and ReBirth, today announced that it is
releasing Mac OS X versions of its entire product line, including the
tremendously popular ReCycle, Reason and Rebirth applications. Reason
for Mac OS X is being demonstrated at the Winter NAMM Show.
"Propellerhead Software is committed to providing easy access to
simple, effective and dedicated audio technologies for every
musician," said Ernst Nathoorst-Boos, Managing Director of
Propellerheads. "Mac OS X offers advanced audio technologies with
unprecedented power and rock-solid stability to give our customers an
incredible platform for creating music."
"Mac OS X Core Audio integrates all audio functions directly into the
operating system, enabling ultra low latency and superior overall
performance," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide
Developer Relations. "We're pleased to have Propellerhead join the
growing list of developers offering
Mac OS X applications and helping Mac users accelerate their
transition to our next generation operating system." Propellerhead
customers running Mac OS X benefit from decreased latency to below 1
ms (dependent on sample rate) and users with multiple processors can
take advantage of Mac OS X's preemptive multitasking and symmetric
multiprocessing, allowing different parts of Reason to run on separate
processors - e.g. the audio engine would run on one processor while
the GUI (Graphical User Interface) could run on another - all
operating seamlessly and more reliably.
Reason takes advantage of Mac OS X Core Audio, which makes the use of
multiple I/O audio interfaces straight-forward and renders OMS and
ASIO unnecessary. Mac OS X also makes MIDI interface drivers available
directly within the operating system. Additionally, Propellerhead
products fully leverage Mac OS X's Aqua user interface to take
advantage of its elegance and navigational advantages.
