GDIt. This, this is why Linux is not on the desktop. Constant CADT churn.

Like MMAudio, DirectSound, Kernel Streaming, WASAPI?

AudioTrack, OpenSL, whatever-the-Android-8-thing-is-called?

As a naive user my response to that is "great, just as pulseaudio seems to be working properly and keeping out of the way; now we get something new with more bugs and less features".

There's some hope!
