Yes we should definitely do something like that. This sound driver business is becoming a huge mess.
Is there a reason not to use something like libao here? http://www.xiph.org/ao/ It lists NetBSD amongst the systems it supports. I suspect this will only solve part of the problem, since it appears to only do PCM audio output, but this has got to be a problem that has been solved before. How complicated is the audio code? Would it be difficult for me to add a libao driver? James.
