I'm not suggesting any particular solution, I'm just pointing out a
potential problem.  It isn't clear to me that you've thought about how
we generate a multiple records, each with the correct ACID list
intended for a specific audit daemon, based on a single audit event.
Explain to me how you intend that to work and we are good.  Be
specific because I'm not convinced we are talking on the same plane
here.
