There's nothing which says you can't do that. However, you're going to
have to use a threading model; create a child thread to perform the
actual mixing of and shoving bits out to the pcm device.
I used the callback mechanisms in SDL and ALSA because they're much
simpler from an application perspective.
Let me know if you want me to go into a bit more detail.
(Ya know, I'm surprised that the Irix AL doesn't have a callback
mechanism.. it's usually a sign of a mature API)
