Sure. Do you want to take the lead here? Nobody at PythonLabs has any interest in this, and without someone putting a stake into the ground, there's no point in even talking about it. It sounds you know what you're talking about, and you have CVS permission, so if you want to do it, go ahead.

(For b/w compatibility we may have to keep the linuxaudio extension around for a while, in a deprecated state.)

Would it make sense to include a Python implementation that wraps aronud whatever low-level modules are needed? Or to use the same API and just replace the implementation? I don't know enough about the potential replacements, but it would be nice to maintain the availability of the API; it's been available for several versions now.
