Yeah, I wrote that back when I didn't really know what was up or down. I went with the source/sink architecture because it seemed like the right thing to do. The code in NSSound is a bit of a mess, though. I would like to eventually revisit it, but that doesn't seem likely in the foreseeable future.
That said, there are really only 2 sinks that I know of: libao and OSS. Libao will use whatever the OS provides, be it pulseaudio, alsa, or something else. I wrote it as a catch all and as an example for anyone wanting to work with it. The OSS sink was written by David for FreeBSD... I never tested it.
NSSound is not a multimedia framework, though. Apple recently came out with AVFoundation, which looks really interesting. Would be nice if we could get an implementation of that on GNUstep.
