Be that as it may, there is a huge benefit to going through the normal process.

OpenAL, being a relatively core component for a system, could benefit
hugely from going through an ARC review, etc.

Personally, I'd like to see it become a *standard* part of
OpenSolaris, much like OpenGL.

While Debian and others have a very open process, it does lead to
throwing everything but the kitchen sink in, and the integration isn't
as good as it often could be.

Cheers,
