Well, (almost) every application written for OSS, be it directly or through PA-OSS, can also run on ALSA's OSS emulation. That's what an emulation is good for. But you miss the advanced features of ALSA if you only use the OSS-emu. For example it is rather hard to map the asoundrc-definitions in a common 4-channel USB card like the M-Audio Quattro to OSS devices. At least I couldn't get this to work in ALSA-OSS. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
