That would be a nice extension to vulkan, especially since new technologies like ray traced audio establish we need a standardized way to do it on the GPU.
But I'm not familiar with valves audio sdk and if it would even make sense to put that into a new standard.

exactly like you do with light only that different materials reflect sound and light different. So you need to extend your PBR-modell. https://reuk.github.io/wayverb/ray_tracer.html

treat sound waves like light rays, tracing their paths as they bounce off surfaces.

Too bad only two games have seen this technology.
