BASS Ports?

Are there any plans to port BASS to any other platforms?  In particular OSX?  What are the alternatives to BASS on other platforms that have similar features?

I would also be interested to hear what the plans regarding this might be. If BASS was portable to, say, XBox and PS2, it could have huge potential.

There is a library that can play tracker files (albeit only XM files) on the PS2, written by Jason Page. Alas, I couldn't find a webpage where you could download it from.

And then, there's FMod, which is truly multi-platform, but at least on the PC it sounds really gritty and crappy compared to BASS.DLL and it doesn't even support filters.

DirectX support in general may make it tricky to port BASS.DLL to any other platform than XBox.

Yea in theory a port to XBox should be relatively simple, but i'm not sure DSound on the XBox is the same as DSound on the PC.  Still i'd like to see a port to another PC platform like MAC or Linux first.

I would like to try implement bassmod to xbox mediaplayer but the only problem is that the xbox sdk doesn't support dynamic libraries. Is there static version somewhere?
