That's just an extra layer. That was my first thought too, but after I while I gave up and gone the libao route. I mean, adapting that old driver to work with new version was, like, 10-15 minutes of work? Then I got the audio working and I was happy, and I've simply ignored the bloat. However, I've reconsider that. Using the libao driver as example I managed to build an sndio driver that works. (that's the reason of the delay in this reply.) Kudos to who worked on sndio, the documentation is fantastic and was a pleasure to read. The new driver should also be more reliable than this libao hack. So, yeah, thanks for your comment, it convinced me to give it another try and consider this patch retired. I'll need another week or so to find the time to complete the driver and I'll send another patch, probably with or slightly after the incoming 3.2.3 update.
