Hi!

I have this idea that migh accelerate the adoption of ALSA.

It is a library ( dynamic ) that implements the ALSA API ( so to
applications it looks like
normal ALSA ), but accesses the hardware over OSS drivers. Like this :

app <--ALSA-API--> this_library <-- OSS-API--> OSS driver <---> sound
hardware

This means that application writers can write to ALSA API and be assured
that their
code will work on both ALSA and OSS systems.

The only thing needed is to install this new library on the OSS system ( the
ALSA systems
will off course work as they are ).

This new library would have the same name and API as the existing alsa
library.

How does this sound ? Feasible ?

Thanks for any reply,
David Balazic
