Squeezeslave stupidly uses the old OSS API, not ALSA. Redirectly this
to a different ALSA device is a bit different, because its a "legacy"
API and only supported to try stop old stuff from breaking.
It is possible to change what ALSA h/w device "/dev/dsp" corresponds
to, but I don't know of a way to make it refer to a dmix
pseudo-device.
Basically, Squeezeslave is stupid and old and needs fixing and/or not
using. And for what its worth, I run a SqueezeServer and 3
squeezeboxen, so I'm not exactly immune to the joys of squeeze-fu :)
