Last time I talked with the OSS team about it, they suggested they were targeting phase 1 into Nevada build 88, though they suggested this might slip due to resourcing. Phase 1 is only introducing drivers, and not the actual OSS interfaces, so this will improve driver support but will not support building programs that depend on OSS interfaces. Phase 1 will only support the existing SADA (Sun Audio Device Architecture) interfaces (see "man audio"). I believe OSS interfaces are planned to integrate with OSS Phase 3, which is targeting 2009. However, this could easily change. I understand there is some push to integrate Phase 3 more early, but it is too soon to tell about that. Brian
