Description

Wayland is a protocol - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(display_server_protocol) Protocol can be implemented in pure C#, or as bindings for libwayland-client http://www.jlekstrand.net/jason/projects/wayland/language-bindings-guide/ libwayland-server and libwayland-client were released under the MIT License.

Most respectful toolkits have Wayland support - http://wayland.freedesktop.org/toolkits.html

"In particular, this should give workable network transparency for audio" (???)
