These are not mutually exclusive: you can have a library API that 
internally communicates with a more privileged process be it a daemon, a 
transient process, or the kernel (which is, in many ways, is just 
another privileged process). The key here is to minimize the amount of 
unaudited code that runs with elevated privileges: a GUI media player 
with megabytes of mmapped GNOME libraries is a lot of code.
