Isn't mmap'ed device just a buffer where application writes data, and audio driver picks data from (or vice-versa for capture)? If so, a high-priority thread created by 'padsp' or pulse alsa plugin or whatever may do the same that driver does in 'hardware case' ... Also an interesting, altouugh dead, related attempt is fusd + oss2pulse, see http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-desktop-list/2007-January/msg00080.html Nikita
