I'd much rather like 100% of the users getting something that won't 
effectively make non-Linux unsupported AND does not suck. I'm not sure 100% 
of the Linux users would like KDE suddenly being dependent on ALSA's 
api/abi-'stability' either.

Why is low latency important for mixing two system notifications sounds 
together anyway? Last time I looked even Windows did not use ASIO to play 
"ding.wav".
