i believe the best way is to implement the dynamic software attenuation in the alsa-lib, and uses aoss wrapper for the OSS apps. in this way, you can emulate the AC3 easily, too. in the kernel emulation route, it's hard to implement cleanly. for example, the software attenuation doesn't work with mmap mode (unless you don't do it in the DMA interrupt context - which is really bad idea).
