I agree that OSS has two advantages:

* easy to use via /dev/dsp and /dev/midi
* Cross-Platform

But I also agree that ALSA has lots of advantages over OSS.

Yep, it is, but I'm just happy about this. Maybe some day it 
will happen that ALSA will spread on other systems, too. I 
know that this is a licencing problem, BTW.


Best regards
