As long as it's not into the esound daemon itself. Now there would be
an UGLY hack! The NAS server does a reasonable enough job of what
esound claims to do, all by itself. :-)
I suspect it's quite easy to manually translate esound client calls into
NAS client calls, but I've not yet tried.
It may even be easy to make a library with an esound-like API that then
just calls the NAS libaudio directly (i.e. a shim over top the NAS
client library). It should be easier to do this than it is to make
libaudiooss work. :-)
Of course I don't _really_ need my browser itself to bleep at me! ;-)
