there is OSSv3 emulation for linux binaries. it works as well as using libossaudio. i.e. there is no sndio/aucat integration, so there is no concurrent access support, there is no resampling, and format/channel conversions are limited. to be honest, I'm perfectly fine with people thinking it doesn't exist or doesn't work enough to be useful. -- jake...@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
