Goals of the design: * Provide a standart naming scheme to access 3D capable audio streams. * Provide a very thin comunication layer for access to hardware specific registers. * Provide a well defined control interface (kcontrol or ioctl) to higher level libraries like OpenAL. * Provide 2 entry points: One for capabilities and data query and another for scene rendering (set parameters of 3D stream). This should be implemented not as system calls, but rather as kcontrol or ioctl calls. Anyone wanting to contribute is gladly welcome to do so.
