I imagine that'd be the much talked about Media Manager. MM seems to
be some combination of a high and low level I/O processor, so is
probably not a close overall match to the ABP, but may include all the
ABP's function. It has been rumoured here that a mere $1M will get you
a licence to use it, though presumably you wouldn't be able to quote
it on Wikipedia.
