I've been happily using the commercial OSS driver (
http://www.4front-tech.com ).
At least for my program, upgrading from ALSA 0.5 to 0.9 seems to require
almost complete rewrite of audio layer. It's problematic because there are
lot of users still using ALSA 0.5 and both versions can't coexist so I have
to use two computers to compile the software for both.
