Well, this combined with the hack for Win32 keyboard support (which
completely bypasses SDL from what I understood from the description) makes
me think that QEMU would need a clean 'driver' separation (a bit like
ScummVM do).

Of course, SDL would continue to be the main driver (and maybe the only
officially supported one), but at least people could cleanly add stuff like
an X11 only driver, a Win32 driver (based on DirectX for example)... That
would also solve the OSS-only sound issue.
