IMO, the best would be a total rewrite of the current mixer API, as I mentioned some times. Right now it's more complicated than needed, but not powerful enough to handle exceptional cases.
Indeed - for example, something that allowed audio routing to be expressed in the mixing API would be a very big win for embedded systems too.
I know designing a generic and fully-working API is pretty difficult, though...
Certainly non-trivial :)
I just dumped my notes here on other systems that have some concept of routing/connectivity/topology

Comments welcome
Still very much a work in progress...
