@that boring guy  :-P

There is only one audio-API on the Amga and it is available for all sorts of "Amiga" including
AROS. No need to hide that behind "has to be compatible with AHI-API".

And even if, someone wanted to create an AHI-clone for their OS, so what ? AROS uses Zune
instead of MUI, but since it is compatible with MUI, and most developers know MUI, but may
have never heard of Zune it is best to just say "MUI".

8bit bitplane modes are DEAD !! No one sensible codes SW anymore that needs them, and
since Openamiga is more targeted at "modern" Amiga I would even say noone really uses them anymore.

Just no sense in restricting new SW by making it compatible with AGA.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
