What was the problem? Right now, I'm doing some research to put together a sound program for linux, and I was under the impression that a program written for OSS/Free would work with Alsa. Since esound is written for OSS as far as I know, I would think that it works under Alsa. Correct me if I'm wrong, though. It would mean that I have to do some more reading. Actually, after I wrote this, I find that I am wrong. Esound is written using the Alsa API, too. So you should definitely be able to use it with Alsa. Reading the source sometimes helps. :-P But correct me if I'm wrong about a program written for OSS being able to run on Alsa. I can't imagine that the Alsa people would break all the other sound apps and still have a user base.
