I know my opinion is unpopular, but afaik OSS is more
of a
standard in the unix (not linux) world than ALSA 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?
Best regards
