Thank you for directing us to your articles. I did not find the one that 
compared OSS with ALSA, but I will keep looking. I did find your 2006 article 
about sound and wine, and will peruse that. 
I have a particular and narrow-focused interest. I run Dragon NaturallySpeaking 
under wine. Wine right now is having difficulty running alsa without freezing 
and only runs in oss-emulation. For wine users, oss may be a good choice, 
especially for me personally, because DNS/wine is the only sound application I 
use, and latency and sound quality are of extreme importance. 
Susan

The fellow who write that blog is only concerned with playback, he never 
addresses the needs or concerns of recordists, he never mentions JACK, 
he ignores realtime considerations, etc.

I've marked it as partisan spam.

UStudio users might try some of these articles for a little more depth 
and considerably more experience with the topic:

No, it would not.

Please everybody: Stop the OSSv4-madness.

The Linux-Soundsystem is ALSA.
It is this for about 5 years now.
So be it.

4front has had their chance, they blew it. Alsa may have its flaws but
these can be fixed with a fraction of the effort that would arise if a
major distro like UBUNTU would  start to cope with OSS4.

To comment the article mentioned above:

The author shows complete ignorance in the the field of productive audio
on Linux.
- - He does not mention jack and does not even answer the answering posts
to his article refering to jack - I have the strong feeling, he never
used it/ might not know it at all.
- - Asked about the ridiculous primitive MIDI-capabilities of OSS he
produces TiMididty, saying it would be great to "play MIDI-Files as
PCM-Streams"... Did he ever seen a MIDI-keyboard connected to a
computer? Does he know, what a sequencer would be?

best regs

HZN

p.s.: it would be indeed wonderful, if Ubuntu would have an
install-option for a supported, recent, full-fledged, stable RT-kernel,
that works out of the box and handles hi-class hardware such as
firewire-soundcards as good as other Linux-Distros do.

Yeah, I just removed PulseAudio and switched back to ALSA today.

Makes me wonder, *who* had the idea of using PulseAudio in the first place?

I'm in favor of a how-to sheet because I'm going to switch to OSS tonight. 
Wouldn't it be wonderful if OSS were an install option?
