Well, and in fact I think that these guys are probably more likely to follow 
what we do rather than to agree to another library from us.  Specifically I 
think we could probably both work together to figure out a default 
soundserver for both desktops and Freedesktop.org-ize that.  Since there 
aren't any soundservers that are really closely connected with either desktop 
project I think we could probably do such in a reasonable fashion.
