Does it matter? Correct me if I am wrong by all means, but it seems like
if a program doesn't have strict low-latency requirements the OSS API
works just fine. Its also more compatible (ALSA having support for OSS
but not the other way around).
On a related note, doesn't XMMS have an ALSA output plugin? Has anyone
tried it as of late with newer ALSA 0.9.0beta releases?
