Possible to make sure that the subset of ALSA that's in LSB is PA-safe?

Yes, of course. Applications that use only a "safe" subset of the ALSA API should work fine with PA. That's what I'd call 70% compat.

Is this safe subset of ALSA documented as such anywhere? If so, we need as many people as possible to BANG A REALLY BIG DRUM about it/write a beautiful Programmers Guide about it/write love songs in it, so that Linux sound applications everywhere can start getting things right now and not break/have to be ported again when libsydney comes along.

Just in case this pops up in Google searches:
ALSA safe subset documentation, amongst other things:
