libaio is meant to solve the problem of differing
digital audio platforms once and for all. JACK is
unnecessarily complex for most applications, and
while libao's support for file output is cool, it
limits what the API can do and is therefore
inadequate for any kind of real time application.
libaio provides a clean application interface and
a simple compile-time driver switching decision,
yielding a lightweight way to use the local sound
hardware without having to care what it is.
