I know my opinion is unpopular, but afaik OSS is

There's no way around providing an OSS emulation that works
(i mean sw mixing, etc.) for all those OSS apps that are
multiplatform.
Most of these applications use /dev/dsp. Wouldn't it be
possible to link it to DMIX/DSNOOP so OSS applications can
transparently use DMIX/DSNOOP?
Yeah, you can always use the aoss script to preload a shared lib
"hijacking" function symbols, so access to /dev/dsp is routed to a
typical alsa pcm device (which can be dmix/dsnoop/asym/whatever).
I'm not sure though this works in 100% of the cases. MMAP?
