Though, although there are loads of networked sound solutions, there are
none that has made all the distribution makers say "Wow. We'll use that as
standard, and advertise it to get more users", so that it's worth the
application makers time to use it.
If it turned out that the GNOME & KDE people, as well as all the Loki
games decided to use it, then it would be *the* standard, and ESD & NAD
would die...
