derp, the first time i noticed this post i overlooked
the egregious
error in the title
one should be mindful to avoid terminology (especially acronyms) that
have multiple interpretations, especially when those alternate
interpretations can relate to the same subject area - that really
should not happen but it does when people give names to new things
without knowing that term is already widely used for something else
in this case i am clearly referring to 'OSS' - in the context of
pro-audio, OSS is the "Open Sound System"; and it has been widely known
as such for about 20 years, and still in use today - that is how i read
this post at first - now i realize it was a short-hand for
"open-source"
I too thought it meant Open Sound System at first.
