Hi Christopher,

How could you imagine a "Multi user" audio layer integrated into the OS ?
audio is not like any other server tasks, you usually have to access the
hardware directly by plug in your mic, your midi gear etc... and you
usually have to be near the computer in order to listen to the music you
are playing... etc so what is really the need to give Linux an audio
Multiuser OS ? Imagine 2 or more users using the same computer to make
music, listen to their video etc and using the ability from Linux to mix
all the stuff, it would be a genious inaudible "cacophony" at the sound
card output :)

Hope I'm wrong and I don't understand the mean of this thread :)

Philippe
