That's not what I meant, but what I wrote wasn't very well done.

Let me try again:
Ideally 90% of our users (Linux) would get their audio mixed by the kernel (so 
they'd get the lower cpu usage, less latency, and compatibility with other 
apps).  The other 10% would get some stupid soundserver to do the mixing.
