Sure. But you maybe looking at the problem from the wrong level. The
solution might not be replacing ALSA, but putting PulseAudio on top of
it. That is certainly what most distros are doing (or moving towards)
now.
Note also that many (not all) of the problems with sound via ALSA are
related to driver tweaks that are missing or done wrong. Windows works
well in part because it has drivers written by the manufacturers of
the hardware. Get rid of this (which perhaps OSS4 could theoretically
do, given its closed-source incarnation) and maybe things would better
in that particular area.
