esound has a wrapper of some sort that will take most oss applications and play them via esound. Is there some sort of equivalent for jack or perhaps alsa? It would be different from oss emulation in alsa in that it would be user-space and explicitly invoked.
You're looking for bio2jack, a wrapper library to convert oss apps.
I ask for three reasons. The first might just be ignorance, but I can't figure out how to use the oss emulation for my second card - things just play through the first card. Some sort of wrapper could help direct it to wherever I want it to go. The second (if it were jack) is to do mixing. The third reason is I'm curious to see which programs are still using oss, but not curious enough to go look at the docs/source of every program. This way I'd see sound doesn't work but could still run the program with the wrapper and get sound.
Look at /proc/asound/oss/devices to get the oss device number(s) for your second card, then open /dev/dsp<x>, where <x> is the first pcm device of the second card and then the second card will play.
For that to work, sound-service-1-3 must be aliased to snd-pcm-oss in /etc/modules.conf.
