Our experience suggests that persistence should be all-inclusive, and
that only the kernel and drivers should be omitted from the persistence
contract.

If you want audio and video, you want real time.
Speaking only for myself (and possibly for Marcus): some time in the

Before I can do that, I need an open source platform with really good
real-time support and a bunch of recording studio software.
