Personally I think that libao would be a better option over the Sun backend for the short term until a sndio backend is added to SOX, which buys you sndio support for now. It is a fairly small library with no external dependencies. With the other dependencies, which I think are fine and a good balance, I don't see this as adding much and it goes away when the sndio backend is added. I haven't tested what you have posted here yet but looking it over it looks good otherwise. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
