A flag that I don't like at all, as it should have probably been "alsa", but |
| 5 |
it was difficult to implement without proper usable package.use.mask (will |
| 6 |
take time before we can actually use it). This because aoss doesn't enable |
| 7 |
ALSA's *oss emulation*, but uses media-libs/alsa-oss to provide an |
| 8 |
indirection layer that filters accesses to DSP devices to move the data to |
| 9 |
ALSA. A similar thing is done by esddsp, artsdsp, padsp. |

Yes this is feasible, but for the time being I'd rather not have to receive in |
| 14 |
my sound@g.o folder two bugs a day about people wanting OSS emulation in |
| 15 |
alsa-driver. |
