esound. 0.2.4 is the most current on ftp.enlightenment.org.
To be honest the architecture used by NAS and to a greater extent by AF
are more appealing to me, namely, be as much like X11 as possible.
However, I do agree that an "audio wrapper" API like esound,AF,NAS, or
maybe even rplay (but probably not) would be a good and logical companion
for such an application.
In order for it to really be useful to me, I need to finish the next stage
of the Linux/Sparc audio midlevel, namely, non-fixed-size,
non-fixed-number buffers.
