so is it really the future? It looks pretty sweet and I think one of the real problems with linux adoption overall is the sound situation (the video situation seems to be in pretty good shape to me). With multiple solutions in various stages of adoption, its kind of frustrating to make sense of it. I didn't dig into the website much, so didn't see: is there any indication that the world is actually moving this way as a sort of standard? I thought that's what alsa was supposed to be?
