Most folks I know are using utmpter for that - it avoids xterm being setuid
setgid or anything else that you really dont want to make it.

As to the sblive - well its probably 2 years away from 2.6 and much of the 
work is being shared - the same bugs turn up in both ALSA and OSS quite
often and several OSS drivers are based off ALSA ones
