The reason I say "never" is because it would either require moving alsa-lib into the kernel (long ago rejected), or devising some system to redirect operations on /dev/dsp back into userspace to alsa-lib. It seems insane for the audio path to be userspace->kernel->userspace->kernel and I'm pretty sure this idea was also rejected a while back. Lee Using Tomcat but need to do more?
