Sorry, but the OSS interface is not an issue for the emu10k1 driver. It already supports multi-open, because emu10k1/emu10k2 chip supports more voices in hardware. Lee was speaking about cheap versions of Sound Blaster cards and they are not supported with the OSS emu10k1 linux driver, too. > > ALSA's in-kernel OSS emulation does not have these features and > > never will. > > "Never" is terribly long. The questions is which feature is missing from the ALSA emu10k1 driver. Personally, I don't know about any, except some extra features like rear/center/lfe channel binding, but the old OSS app binaries does not know about them, so it's no worth to care. In my opinion, the OSS emu10k1 driver is ready to be removed unless someone notify us about any missing feature.
