Too bad things were handled like they were back in the days. I'm quite certain Linux will stay with ALSA. At first that bugged me, because ALSA is so obviously not cross-platform. Then I realized that it doesn't matter, OSS and/or ALSA should be kept very low level. Userspace applications, such as pulseaudio, on the other hand, should support both architectures equally well. (I've fallen in love with pulseaudio, although I don't think it supports OSSv4 very well). OSSv4 seems very nice, indeed! Too bad things were handled like they were back in the days.

OSSv4 is actually a very capable sound system and will be the primary sound system on OpenSolaris (and I wouldnt be suprised also on FreeBSD). Don't knock it just because you yourself do not have a personal use for something. @blah: It is not a waste of time.
