[linux-audio-dev] The global API namespace

[David Olofson]

Just wondering how the h*ll you're supposed to name functions and 
types when all sensible naming conventions seem to be reserved by 
POSIX and other authorities...

How about this for Audiality:

	Functions:	a_whatever()
	Types:		at_whatever

I bet *some* lib is using a_* and/or at_*, but I have yet to find it. 
Besides, it doesn't look like a great idea to use both a_* and at_* 
for a single project - but *_t is reserved, and I don't like 
Capitalization in public APIs. Maybe I can make an exception, 
though... A_* and AT_* or something?

Then again, most compilers can tell types from functions without 
throwing too much bogus messages at the user, so one might get away 
with a single prefix and simply remove the _t everywhere.
