if this is OSS forget about it, it will be
outdated as soon
an 2.6 kernel
is out
Well, ALSA has OSS compatibility, and 4front-tech.com will still be
selling their for-money OSS drivers (for a number of platforms, not
just Linux).
So saying that OSS will disappear after the release of kernel 2.6 is a
bit premature. Especially since some of the for-money OSS drivers are
still much better than the ALSA drivers (just my experience, YMMV).

There was a QNX port, iirc, but I don't know what its status is.
Seriously, though,
anything as advanced as a sampler should be using JACK. JACK currently
exists
for Linux and (I believe) Solaris, but it's not far off from OSX's
CoreAudio, so it's
already more portable than straight alsa. The only other OS I could see
anyone
possibly caring about for audio purposes is of course 'doze, and OSS
isn't going to
be any more portable to M$ than JACK or ALSA. If you really want
portability to
*BSD, HP-UX, or AIX, then feel free to use OSS, but I don't see the
point of that.
