But it's the best we've got so far.
What about Flash & Skype? Should we wait for new versions using ALSA to be released in 208, and stop using them meanwhile?
But they still use OSS - try to convince them to switch to ALSA.

to be honest, aoss sucks too. In fact any emulation solution so far is
pretty crappy in one way or the other ;-(

It has been how long since ALSA took over? It's time to phase OSS out
entirely....

(and skype is afaik even from after the alsa release so they have for
sure no excuse at all!)
