not crucial, that's not what I'm saying, just nice if it would be
possible.
Technicall it's trivial to implement the soft-mixing in the kernel.
The question is whether it's the right implementation.
We have a user-space softmix for ALSA, and aoss wrapper for OSS using
it. (I know aoss still has some problems that should be fixed,
though.)
Software mixing in the kernel is like FPU ops in the kernel...
Software mixing in the kernel probably _IS_ FPU ops in the kernel.
We already do video mixing (think X) in userspace, I see no reason
why audio should be different.

Somone asked me why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/
philosophy/) software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Schulz
had the best answer:
"Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems? They do
it because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't.
That's why I draw cartoons. It's my life."
