Yes, thats true, you might read Josh's comments about writing the ALSA
part, he surely had a good time.
ALSA is not really easy to program, and thats not about novice programmers
and advanced programmers. There are just some people who do not understand
why a Sound API has to be that complicated. (JACK shows that it hasn't to
be this way)
A sign of this is that this discussion takes place at all, considering
what crap the OSS API in reality is (well, as an excuse, its old and
it is only the kernel API ...)

You should not be writing apps with OSS.
If you want portability use PortAudio.
LOL! PortAudio uses... OSS!
