As nice as it would be to have a person in charge ala Steve Jobs who can
just tell all the pesky developers "*THIS* is the API you *WILL* use
from now on". I almost mean this seriously, on some levels. CoreAudio is
a great piece of work, relatively speaking. It exists and has succeeded
only because Jobs/Apple gave apple developers no option but to use it.

On linux, things take off because they work, not because someone says
they are the thing to use. Problem is, there are quite a few things that
work ...
