Since every sound and graphics card manufacturer (nearly) provides DirectX
drivers, I wonder if it would be possible to write some program which
understood the format of the drivers and used them.  That way an API could
be designed on Linux which translated to DirectX driver calls.  This means
that Linux programmers do not need to write drivers for new cards and one
program could use all cards.

Does this make sense?

As this sort of work started?

Best regards,
Matt.
