1a) Get Abramo to post (or point to) detailed information on using a
"share" PCM device
1b) Get Abramo or Jaroslav to post (or point to) detailed information
on setting up libaoss (specifically, how to map /dev/dspN to a specific
ALSA PCM device)
2) edit your ~/.asoundrc file to define a "share" PCM device
3) run all your legacy (OSS) apps with LD_PRELOAD set to preload libaoss.
a small wrapper script is useful for this; ALSA may already
come with one (*)
4) run all your newer (ALSA) apps with an argument telling it to use
the "share" PCM device
and you should be done. if, that is, the "share" device type is really
working. if not, you can help us debug it.
--p
(*) something like:
% cat aoss
#!/bin/sh
export LD_PRELOAD=/where/i/put/libaoss.so
exec $*
%
then you can just run OSS apps like this:
% aoss oss-app-name oss-app-args...
i know this appears hacky. like i said, there is no way around this
because of the way OSS was designed.
