<tt>polypaudio</tt> has:</p>

- <li>Extensible plugin architecture (<tt>dlopen()</tt>)</li>
+ <li>Extensible plugin architecture (by loading dynamic loadable modules with <tt>dlopen()</tt>)</li>
<li>Support for more than one sink/source</li>
<li>Better low latency behaviour</li>
<li>Embedabble into other software (the core is available as C library)</li>
<li>Simple command line interface for reconfiguring the daemon while running</li>
<li>Flexible, implicit sample type conversion and resampling</li>
<li>"Zero-Copy" architecture</li>
+ <li>Module autoloading</li>
</ul>
<p>Both the core and the client API are completely asynchronous making
a simplified synchronous API wrapper <tt>polyplib-simple</tt>
available. A simple main loop implementation is available as well.</p>
