There was a QNX port, iirc, but I don't know what its status is. 
 Seriously, though,
anything as advanced as a sampler should be using JACK.  JACK currently 
exists
for Linux and (I believe) Solaris, but it's not far off from OSX's 
CoreAudio, so it's
already more portable than straight alsa.  The only other OS I could see 
anyone
possibly caring about for audio purposes is of course 'doze, and OSS 
isn't going to
be any more portable to M$ than JACK or ALSA.  If you really want 
portability to
*BSD, HP-UX, or AIX, then feel free to use OSS, but I don't see the 
point of that.
