some more excerpts from libsalsa/README: --> SALSA - Simple ALSA emulation library for OSS ============================================= The sole purpose of this library is to make certain key ALSA applications to work with OSS. This is necessary just because some Linux distributions don't ship utilities like esd or xmss with OSS support compiled in. This library has been programmed using brute force methods and it's not designed to be any programming example. We didn't make any attempt to get all ALSA applications to work with it. Most applications support the OSS API directly so there is no need for doing this. <- and don't forget, you are suggesting to distribute a *linux binary* of *GPL* software. obviously this could not be distributed as part of OpenBSD. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
