You don't mind the lag (there is lag, no way around it, you just don't

software synthesizers) but I do. So stop trying to convince me that it
works for me too. To use your own words, please don't speak about
something you don't know anything about. As I see it, if I have to use
ALSA's OSS-compatibility to get acceptable results, why not use the real
thing instead?
h,mm, lets see - because oss4 is broken by design?
No it's not broken. It's awesome:

Also, what 'latency' are you talking about?
Latency is the delay between giving the order to play a sound and the
sound actually being played. It's usually around 30ms here with
ALSA/dmix, and around 10ms with OSS/vmix. It's not funny trying to play
something in a software synth with a keyboard when having a 30ms latency.
