You probably mean converting only when doing read/write. This is what ALSA does.
IMNSHO one could remove the mmap interface, as there is nothing that couldn't be done as easily without it, and it complicates the sound driver so much that you can never be sure that there are no security problems for example.
FreeBSD btw. got this almost right.
The problem is that a "killer application" considered important (quake) uses it.
