ALSA plugins are implemented in userspace, while the OSS interface is a kernel driver interface and therefore is implemented in the kernel. To get sound card sharing with application that use the OSS interface, you can: - use a sound card with hardware mixing (VIA AC'97 controllers, Sound Blaser Live, and some other obsolete chips); or - use a wrapper that tries to redirect OSS interface calls to a userspace emulator (aoss, but it doesn't always work); or - use a kernel driver that redirects OSS calls to userspace (requires kernel 2.6.31 and OSSP, which currently works only with PulseAudio and not dmix).
