Why do you think there is a shortage of 64-bit drivers? Linux is not
Windows XP.

The problem is generally with older software or closed source software
that still uses OSS (sadly some brand new closed source software still
does this) or tries to use 'hw:0' instead of 'default'. That kind of
thing. 32- or 64-bit is not a problem at all.
