Kinda fun watching this video (http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/Going+Deep/Elliot-H-Omiya-Larry-Osterman-and-Frank-Yerrace-Inside-Windows-7-Audio-Stack/). As it seems the big new features of the Windows 7 audio stack are the ability to move streams while they are live, to do role-based policy routing, and to pause streams during phone calls. Hah! That’s so yesterday! A certain sound server I happen to know very well (http://pulseaudio.org/) has been supporting this for a longer time already, and you can even buy that logic in various consumer products (http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/).

Nice to know that in some areas of the audio stack it’s not us who need to play catch-up with them, but they are the ones who need to play catch-up with us.
