The identification of syscalls that becomes an event is done by the kernel.
Userspace just send rules into the kernel and records what the kernel sees.

Not really for 2 reasons. One being that the watch technique is totally
different and incompatible between current user space and the old 1.0.x
series. The other being that the interesting work is done by the kernel.
That said, there is an update to RHEL4 audit (1.0.15-2) that introduces the
realtime interface from RHEL5 that should be part of the U5 update. That
could be handy for moving events off the machine in realtime.
