I'm not going to join the sndio vs. pulse discussion.
But from a maintenance point of view it sucks big time to have a bunch
of ways to play sound, and everybody uses a different one so you have to
maintain a backend for each of those methods.
Maybe we should outsource that problem. Write a gstreamer backend, then
delete oss/alsa/sdl/pulse/whatever backends and let gstreamer handle
that mess ...
cheers,
Gerd
