I have tried both, someone may say that ALSA is much better than OSS, but with my experience with ALSA I wouldn't say that, I would probably say it should be removed from the kernel totally. So, what are the reasons for ALSA to become "default" in 2.6? I know it gives somekind of nice features, but ALSA didn't let me to open two sound sources (like XMMS and Quake3) at the same time, so I guess it is not really done yet, or is it? Ignore this if you don't care. Thanks, Markus. --=20 "Software is like sex, it's better when it's free."
