I suggest to change it to:

* Keep the Voxware interface and support for all parts of the sound
sustem.

It is many sound software developed for Linux now, it will run
on FreeBSD without modifications in this case.

And add this one:

* Have 100% compatible Sun /dev/audio (current variant is < 100%
compatible).
