Linux Standard Base

Last week, I attended the Linux Plumber's Conference, a funny-sounding but very important conference.  My wife can't get the image of Mario and Luigi out of her head, but "plumbing" in this case concerns the flow of data between core parts of the Linux system, not the flow of water.

One of the important mini-conferences held there was the Audio Conference, run by Lennart Poettering.  A good portion of the miniconf was spent discussing good end-developer APIs for sound on Linux, or (more accurately) the lack thereof.  Lennart talked about his ideas, but was intentionally vague about many of them, promising to follow up later with some documentation.
