AFAIK OSS doesn't provide SW mixing. ESD does. Given situation I have OSS-only capable audiocard and I want to use SW mixing, ESD over OSS is an option for me to hear mixed audio streams from several applications (mp3 as background and sounds from a game, from example). Correct me if I'm wrong :) Regards Vit
