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?
 

I added audio support to the resource compiler. Quite sophisticated with rate reasmpling algorthms. Unless you resample by a dacrot of two, this is quite a difficut problem. So oviously you want audio in Baby X. And there is no reason at all for anything difficult. Just three functions, one to play a short sound and return, one to play a long stream of sound, and one to stop the long stream of sound whilst it is playing (Baby X gives you callbacks which ae meant to be handled promptly, so you don't need multithreading to support audio, it can all be done between callbacks).
