I switched from alsa to oss because i could compile oss directly in my kernel (that was a long time ago). and when 2.6.0-test apeared i compiled alsa in the kernel but i had problems with it and came back to oss: 1. SOund was jerky compared to oss (almost inaudible) with oss emulation. 2. doesn't have an btaudio driver and i wasn't been able to compile alsa and oss btaudio driver in the same kernel so i couldn't watch tv with the alsa kernel :-( 3. Many old sound applications require oss (even emulated) And oss emulation is far from stable. These are my opinions. I hope they will change soon :-) > Rob Love > Calin ===== -- A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in.
