I've wondered that too.

Jim Gettys Open Source Desktop Technology Road Map has a brief but useful summary on audio and multimedia, as well as a good overview of where X is going.

The current artsd and esd sound servers for KDE and Gnome don't seem to be evolving further. But the Media Application Server is surely worth a look. It is so ambitious in scope that X support is a mere detail!
