So in that case, does it mean that by simply replacing /dev/dsp with a symlink to /dev/sound/adsp, I can have 2 different (and up to 16...) oss applications transparently accessing the sound card ? However, that sounds too easy to be true... I can't test this right now - I'm at work - but I'll have a try tonight. > The problem with GUS synth is that it uses non-interleaved data layout so > it's not relly useful for pcm stuff. alsa-lib doesn't want to do > the required conversion for some reason.

I'm a little confused with this: is it related to/does that explain the fact that xmms crashes systematically when I set the alsa output to GUS/synth ?
