As sound hardware gets dumber and cheaper, kernel OSS emulation will become increasingly useless. The cheap onboard devices (and even mid range stuff like the SBLive! 24 bit) require sample rate conversion, mixing, and even volume control to be handled in software. ALSA's in-kernel OSS emulation does not have these features and never will. (I wish the authors of Skype, Flash, TeamSpeak, Enemy Territory, and other proprietary OSS-only apps would understand this ;-) Lee Using Tomcat but need to do more?
