This will be great when OpenSolaris gets this subsystem in place. It should put it on more equal footing with BSD and Linux.
I wonder if they will have a Boomer v2 that would allow for support of professional-level audio equipment and projects. I understand why they would only want to go for the basics at this point. It seems like they are on the right track. Do you have any idea when this will become part of OpenSolaris? I'm assuming it won't make it in before 2009.11 at the earliest.

Did anyone else take a look at what the OpenSolaris devs are doing with Project Boomer?

It looks like Sun is taking the Open Sound System and making some serious and very much welcome improvements.
