At this moment all Unix vendors (other than official
Linux) are already
behind OSS. esd works on top of it. artsd works on top of it. Jack works
on top of it. All applications (other than few alsa-* ones) are compatible
with it. Even significant part of alsa-lib has been ported to work on top
of OSS (this work started just about a month ago). So is there anything
that is still missing from OSS?
The point is that OSS, whatever version, is not going to be the
standard sound layer on Linux, if not for technichal reasons then for
political ones.
