I think non-portable Linux-only applications suck, as badly as
non-portable Win applications.

ALSA doesn't exist on *BSD or Solaris, so I'm not going to make any
ALSA-only application.

I have the C++ code to use OSS, ALSA 0.5 (and also the QNX variant) and
ALSA 1.x. Those classes have basically the same interface.

I still haven't seen proper tool for doing asound.conf for example
M-Audio Delta1010. And I don't want to support all the n+1 newbies on
how to edit their ALSA configuration to do something meaningful.
