I can get the OSS driver to work but only intermittently (say 1 out of 2
tries on average) and never in the demo game. When it fails to start, the
error message is "/dev/dsp: Device or resource busy".
The open() calls simply fails and I can reproduce the problem (obviously not
very difficult :-) with a program of mine which directly uses OSS. We could
use a loop with a delay and re-try, but I don't like that at all.
And XMMS has an aRts output plugin...
