Well, you're right. CSL is not complete, and probably will not be for some
time, as adding a CSL driver for a platform without testing is virtually
impossible, thus we need to rely on third party contributions, there. I
however do hope that CSLs code quality in those parts that are completed is
good ; if not I'd really like to hear criticism on specific points.
The pluginable interface is planned ; maybe it will be completed for the
next release.
On the other
hand, if you added JACK support to CSL, you could also mix the
output of all of these "sound servers" into JACK, without endangering your
latency properties.
The sound server has to support other sound servers. A bit sane, isn't it?
Its a practical consequence of the "one size doesn't fit all" rule of
software development. But that way you can have interoperability while still
having diversity.
