More than likely. However, redesigning the sound drivers and 
implementing HW voices can wait until after 4.2.0. Because remember, 4.2 
won't have the same problem as 4.0 of having to maintain forward 
compatibility (I hope). After the DX mixer gets dropped (which I have a 
patch ready to test, btw) and my mixer changes are implemented, the rest 
of the changes will be internal. Sure there might be some new functions 
exposed/added, but nothing that would break backwards compatiblity. 
Redesigning the mixer further, modifying the sound drivers, and adding 
HW voices should be able to be done within the 4.2 and 4.3 branches 
concurrently.
