I think fd.o hosts MAS (http://www.mediaapplicationserver.net/)

That would cover anything using Xorg.
I doubt there will ever be "coreaudio" style linux audio api.  But isn't

this all dealt with by jackd?  I mean couldn't any application written

for jackd run on different audio drivers?  I'm not a programmer, but I

thought jackd already serves as a "common audio layer".
i.e. `alsa' `coreaudio' `dummy' `oss' or `portaudio' support is there.
