Maybe, but not necessarily. While there will certainly be
updates to Core Audio in Tiger, it is by far nothing new. Core Audio has been a
part of the system since its
10.1.

Oh man, what Kickaha said and then so much more. Core Audio support in iTunes would be a godsend with. For starters, there are oodles of Audio Units and VST plugins it could use "for free." Just fire up a copy of Garageband. Get info on a track, expand the details, and look at the popup menus by effects. See those? You could have all those options and more "for free" in iTunes. If you don't have GB, go download Amadeus II. Open it and under the Effects menu, check out Audio Units and VST Plugins. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
I for one would be ecstatic to see Core Audio properly implemented in QuickTime 7 and iTunes 5. I know that anyone in the prosumer/professional audio category would too.

It may not be perfect, but you know resizing the sidebar makes album art larger, right?

Has Apple
ever released a major product update just for aesthetic improvements?
