It was listed as a potential idea when we were putting to gether the
list of all possible things to consider for LSB 4.0.  It was
prioritized as low priority, and at this point it's not going to
happen.  We just never got around to updating the page.  At this
point, though none of the Low priority items are slated to be done for
LSB 4.0, and nearly all of the medium priority items are unlikely to
happen as well.


As far as your concern about the audio API's; I agree the massive
amount of fragmentation is highly unfortunate.  I am sure that I don't
know for certain what the right approach should be, and it probably
behooves us to wait until we see what approach everyone settles on
before we make any kind of standardization attempts in this space.
