So I wanted to add audio to Baby X.

IIRC, the X11 protocol does not support an audio stream, and networked
audio is handled by other servers and protocols.

How did you tie audio into Baby X?

And I stole an MP3 decoder from
Fabrice Bellard of tcc fame, and it took an afternoon to get audio up
and running under Baby X on Windows. Then do the samefor Linux. And it
was a complete nightmare, and it still isn't fit to push.
