UWIN[1] is still maintained and is under the CPL[2]. Looking at the source there's already an OSS wrapper (src/lib/libposix/audio.c which is called from src/lib/libposix/ioctl.c), but it implements only two ioctls: SNDCTL_DSP_CHANNELS and SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED. [1] http://www.research.att.com/~gsf/cgi-bin/download.cgi?action=list&name=uwin [2] http://www.opensource.org/licenses/cpl1.0.txt This is long, but it seems basically like the CDDL or MPL with some sort of patent licencing. The code itself stays open, but you can link freely.
