I think it is in our interests to think how to get these features, where 
possible, without reviewing too many patches and without sacrificing the 
code quality of PulseAudio. That includes encouraging our contributors 
to implement features externally to PulseAudio if it is easier. And an 
external module SDK would also be a step forward.

I also think I should try porting the existing RAOP2 patch set to make 
it an ALSA plugin instead, to set an example of the "externally where it 
is easier" rule.
