WHERE HAVE WE BEEN?

• OSS
• 16 bit interleaved stereo
• Jazz++
• /dev/sequencer
• <click>...<click><click>..<click>
• pre-molnar, pre-morton

Things that are "done"

• audio media players (xmms, alsaplayer, others)
• web plugins (Real, MP3, Ogg)
• CD players, rippers, track data (c/o freedb.org)
• CD recording (mostly)
• P2P services

But note: its still not possible to take an arbitrary PC, install Linux, and be able to do audio/MIDI work. In fact, you may get no sound at all ...
