Hmm, I took a quick look at the new API and there's still some
snd_pcm_plug_* routines (not the old snd_pcm_plugin_* routines).

Hmm, if the differences really aren't that big, these could be combined.
As I'd like to keep all 1.7.x versions binary compatible with 1.7.7, this
would have to be done by adding a new class for 0.6.x ALSA devices.
Possibly a common ALSA_PCM_BASE class, which in inherited by
ALSA_PCM_DIRECT and ALSA_PCM_PLUGIN.

Ok, hopefully the lb-API is still around. Anyway, I wouldn't be suprised
if there were more API changes before first 0.6.x release. Jaroslav and
Abramo have been busy changing things... ;)
