won't the buffering implied by that induce latency that might not be
acceptable for certain apps? (games with instantaneous sound output, etc)

we might have to do some hairy crap with shared memory and having the
server mmap /dev/dsp.. etc..

which would be cool for wavetable cards, did OSS ever develop a standard
api for dealing with samples stored on the card?  /dev/sequencer?  My gus
