Use ALSA's built in oss emulation.
Isaac, Thanks for the information that OSS emulation is still needed in certain circumstances - is it for all bttv cards that need to record audio separately? I only ask as up until now my capture cards - DVB and PVR-350 - either encode (350) or dump (DVB) audio with the video and as I'm running 0.16, only mythmusic needs the OSS emulation from ALSA (AIUI). (As I have a couple WinTV cards in my spares box, I was going to setup a slave backend with these and maybe another DVB card.) If I was to install/upgrade to 0.18 and have no bttv cards recording in the machine, am I able to be completely OSS free? I recall reading that mythmusic now supports ALSA.
