Well, depends on definition.

Seems to be pretty active still, and AFAIK the only way to have cross
platform interface to audio drivers...
IMO, ALSA is a bit failed in a way that it is Linux-only.
The acronym ALSA stands for "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture". Its
primary purpose is _not_ to be an _interface to_ audio drivers. Its
primary purpose, is to be a _collection of_ audio drivers; and it does
this very well.
There are several cross-platform interfaces to audio drivers out there.
Any developers care to suggest a few really good ones which do
Linux/ALSA, Mac, and Windows?

I'm not an audio developer, but PulseAudio is almost what you ask. It
just doesn't support MacOs yet (I think I've read something about that
in the PA mailing list, so it could change soon), but there's support
[1] for Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD and native Win32. Pretty cool.

Q: Why is top posting so bad?

Well, OSS is also collection of cross-platform drivers...

It is quite rare to be able to achieve anywhere near "bit perfect"
output from these... :(
And last thing I want is some "you have new mail" -bing mixed in while
listening music.
