In fact Fedora 11 does not support OSS anymore (hwoever you can
reenable it via some minor hackery). I am expecting other distros will
follow soon.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your reply.
The scenario is as follows :
I have an FC8 machine and suppose my friend have a RH9 machine.
I want to make him hear on his machine the song I am playing in 'xine' on
my system.
For that I have written a 'daemon' which listens for connections from
client and reads from /dev/dsp and writes to client.
The 'client' I have written is running on RH9, which connects to the
daemon on FC8 and reads from it and writes to /dev/dsp on RH9.
On RH9 I can hear the song but with a lot of noise which I want to
eliminate.
Can it be done using some other tool like (sox, play or padsp etc.)?
it would be nice if new software avoids the use of the OSS API
(read/write/open/close with /dev/dsp) as much as possible. it may look
like a perfectly reasonable way to write such a program to you, but
the continued use of this API by new (and old) software is a major
blocking factor to improving the state of audio on linux. please don't
do this.
