ALSA have very enhanced features for designed interfaces (MIXER & PCM).
Other interfaces will be implemented soon.

Maybe. It isn't depend on me only. I willn't work on libraries anymore
as I did in ultra project (except low-level support which does interaction
with driver and manage packages). Making good sound driver is very time
consuming and I can't do all things alone.
