The only thing the audio driver lacks at the moment is the mmap() interface.
I put a mono<-->stereo conversion in there in the past but it may well be
removed at the same time mmap() goes in, since they are mutually exclusive.
Clearly, rate conversion belongs in the user app if the hardware can't
provide it. Not in the kernel driver. Many audio applications have the
ability to downgrade their 16-bit signal when they detect an old 8-bit
SoundBlaster. Now it's time to teach apps to do the opposite... or use a
sound daemon that handles that for you.
