    AFAIK that version should be new enough.  But only the native ALSA
    interface has access to the software mixer.  When using the legacy OSS
    interface (eg. through /dev/dsp) you are still limited to a single open.

So, what does that imply for Emacs?  Does Emacs use it through the
native ALSA interface or through a "legacy interface"?
