Poking around more into what ALSA requires, I started digging into JACK.
Unlike the kernel-level thing that ALSA is, JACK is more along the lines
of Esound, but done sensibly.  Non-root realtime scheduling is heavily
recommended (does anyone remember SVGALIB?).

So, this brings me to what I hope is a more sensible question with
widespread interest.  I haven't seen any discussion on non-root realtime
scheduling for NetBSD.  Is anyone tinkering with this?  If so, what is its
status?
