We here at gelato@UNSW are bringing up the concept of user level drivers. I am a student working on user level sound driver. We already have a working user level network card and disk driver.

I am actually at the end of my project, I have managed to get (a rather simplfied) alsa to compile in user space. So too late to look at the other means. But the good news is that, I managed to setup the pcm device in the card and write to it, and well at present it is producing some kinda audible beep.
