If you work on Linux and you are working on a kernel audio driver then the best solution is to simply make it a proper ALSA driver. That would free you from writing a special PA module for that. > I have gone through the existing set of modules, I found that module-oss > and module-solaris sink/source currenlty is capable of open/write/read > device like /dev/dsp (please correct me if I am wrong).

Take them with a grain of salt however, since they tend to be out of date. Otherwise: read the sources!

Maybe you shouldn't post anything to a public mailing list with nonsensical demands like this. I mean, come on, all our traffic is archived in public mailing list archives.
