audio(4) and tty(4) are very different from my view; audio(4) has the single entry and drivers implement backend. tty(4) is a common interface through which kernel accesses serial devices (correct me if wrong). I'm very curious which architecture looks better to you, because I have a vague idea to make tty(4) to something like audio(4). Masao
