Heya! Just a little heads-up for distro packagers: please consider disabling OSS in your distributions! We did so in Fedora 11 and it went very well, we only got two bug reports or so and the respective programs have now been fixed. Fedora 11 installations are now OSS-free by default, which I think is a big step ahead to drain the linux audio swamp. I'd really like to see that other distros follow suit. The recommended way to disable OSS is to make sure the snd-pcm-oss/snd-seq-oss modules aren't loaded anymore by default when when snd-pcm is. This can be done by commenting a line in /etc/modprobe.d/ somewhere. Doing this allows folks to easily reenable OSS again but has the advantrage that legacy apps cannot fuck up device access for PA anymore.
