Have fun: you'll know confusing things :) .

Yeah, freedesktop.org is somehow a common base both try to
use.

Worse: Because there's no common audio layer in linux, I guess
that Gnome and KDE will start using a common soundserver, but
then again it's again a KDE/Gnome only solution.

I'd really be glad if we manage to define a common layer for
*all* programs.

What do you plan when saying 'I'm learning audio'? If you want
to use your box for making music, you should learn how to use
jack. Watch my videos to get a basic overview.
