That sure is awesome!

We should organize a meeting with the cakewalk guy and other grups
with a proposal.. We could develop some draft here in the lad
groups and invite other open groups to participate too
(openal, beos advocates, etc). An open, cross platform plugin/routing api
could sure give us a huge boost!
