I at one point considered that,
but up until now, it has worked quite ok with the Unix-flavoured builds in linuxXX.xxx.

Indeed, it should be as simple as adding a folder
	vm-sound-sndio to platforms/unix
and adding a file for autoconf, and maybe cmake, as well as your plugin source.
Examples can be found in vm-sound-Sun, vm-sound-NAS and so on.

Then, someone should regenerate the configure file in platforms/unix/config
and the linux builds will happily pick up the new plugins.

Best regards
	-Tobias
