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 ?
