For example, I use the OSS version of the emu10k1 driver for DVD sound because the OSS one is realtime-capable (and so provides better synchronisation) but the ALSA one isn't yet. Besides, the API I've tried to fix is actually *used* by ALSA to provide OSS-emulation devices, except that it doesn't work on a devfs-based machine with multiple sound cards because all the device names clash.
