Why doesn't whoever wrote this contact me? Help is just an email away
and duplicating effort is a bad idea (the whole thing is BSD-2 licenced
now btw).

Streams are handled by GSI 0.8.x. Synchronizing, well, in that case
shared memory streams are probably the way to go (not completed in
0.8.x).

Check out the library oranization of 0.9.x: gsipcm, gsicd, gsisynth
(abstraction in this case is a mistake I think, just do midi and new
libs for other formats), gsimixer, and (lib)gsi is the network
connection stuff.

Hmm. Have a look at 0.9.x. Anyone want to help?
