For example, xine (xine.sf.net) dropped support for alsa-0.5.x ages ago, it only supports alsa-0.9.x. It also supports lots of other audio drivers, eg. oss, esd, arts etc. Are there still applications out there that only support alsa-0.5.x and not alsa-0.9.x. alsa-0.9.x is so much easier to program an application for than alsa-0.5.x ever was.
