The ALSA versus OSS war.  This blows.

"ALSA compatability layer" in OSS, "OSS compatability layer in ALSA" ...

The fact is, the OSS guys profit from perpetuating this problem.  I 
would never buy a driver from them, because they have a vested 
interest in keeping audio non-functioning in the default Linux code 
base, and money spent on an OSS driver is money spent on future 
borked kernels ..
