Just a quick remark: The purpose of porting these applications to sndio is not to just make them work with aucat. I mean, having few rare applications not working with aucat may not look as a huge usablility problem. Of course having them work with aucat would be very nice! But, the real problem is that as long as we have code depending on sun and oss kernel APIs (or alike), prevents us from changing/improving kernel bits, which possibly impacts quality of all audio programs, including those using sndio. -- Alexandre
