the competing
APIs is definitely a problem. the OSS guys
continue to refuse to accept ALSA, and continue to promote
the benefits of their API and libraries. The layers that
have been built on top of them (PortAudio, JACK, the arts
audio api, gnome-sound, etc) continue to compete with each
other in various ways.
That's not a problem, that's the usual evolution as seen may
times in the free software world.
